About Snow, black ice and winter tyres: clearing, driving style and the chain rule: which statement is correct?
- During snowfall full beam is only a problem when oncoming traffic approaches; without oncoming traffic it is simply allowed.
- ✓ In the Netherlands the use of metal snow chains is banned; plastic snow chains ARE allowed.
- It is enough to clear only the windscreen of snow before setting off.
- Winter tyres are mandatory in the Netherlands as soon as it snows or freezes.
Correct answer: In the Netherlands the use of metal snow chains is banned; plastic snow chains ARE allowed.
Explanation
In the Netherlands the use of metal snow chains is banned; plastic snow chains ARE allowed
Why learners get this wrong
- During snowfall you do not use full beam, even without oncoming traffic: the light reflects off the snowflakes and blinds you yourself
- You clear windows, lights, mirrors, roof AND number plates; you are already liable to a fine for insufficient sight through the windscreen OR the front side windows
- Winter tyres are not mandatory in the Netherlands; they do give more grip below 7 degrees and on a snow-covered road surface
