About Snow, black ice and winter tyres: clearing, driving style and the chain rule: which statement is WRONG?
- In the Netherlands the use of metal snow chains is banned; plastic snow chains ARE allowed.
- Do not use full beam during snowfall, you get blinded by the reflection of the light on the snowflakes; full beam is already banned during the day anyway.
- ✓ Winter tyres are mandatory in the Netherlands as soon as it snows or freezes.
- 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.
Correct answer: Winter tyres are mandatory in the Netherlands as soon as it snows or freezes.
