Its not that bad here that i would want to make any law to force people to buy tires trucks, or anything like that. Goto MD or WA…2 inches of snow would completely shutdown their highways.
Also your not supposed to be driving the exact speedlimit when the road conditions are bad hence why they issue imprudent speeding tickets. Just because you have 4x4 in ur truck doesnt mean ur going to stop any better.
With that said…
The problem is that people need to use their heads when they drive. I hate seeing someone in the fast lane going 20mph below the speedlimit in a snow storm with their hazard lights flashing…pretty much making their turn signals useless. You put ur hazards on if ur cars disabled and not moving. If your going to drive slow, then get in the slow lane. If you afraid to drive in the snow, then dont.
