Struck by heavy snowfall?
In the colder months, driving on snow-covered roads can be a challenge. Fortunately, there are various driving aids available to help navigate these conditions safely.
One such aid is the Lescars Driving Aid, a set of driving mats that adapt to the terrain. These mats come with a carrying bag, making them an ideal solution for campers and other vehicles.
For campers and other vehicles with limited space, the Fiamma Grip System offers a space-saving solution. This system is specifically designed for campers but can be used on other vehicles as well.
When it comes to snow tires, the Goodyear GODKN120 Snow Chain is an Amazon bestseller, known for its durability and precision fit. Alternatively, snow chains like the Jolitac Traction Aids and the AutoSock HP 645 Snow Socks provide better traction and stability on snow-covered terrain. The Jolitac Traction Aids are made of thermoplastic rubber with rust-free steel cables, capable of holding up to 3.5 t, while the AutoSock HP 645 Snow Socks fit wheels from 14 to 19 inches.
If a car is stuck in the snow, clearing high snow from all four wheels can help. In such cases, emergency traction aids, such as branches, rubber floor mats, or sand, can be used if the car still won't move.
For those who have never installed snow chains before, practicing in a dry environment is recommended. It's also essential to install snow chains on the drive axle, and vehicles with all-wheel drive should consult their manual for proper installation.
In Switzerland, driving on motorways with spikes is prohibited, and a maximum speed of 80 km/h applies. In Austria, certain rules apply to the use of spiked winter tires, including all driven wheels being equipped with spikes, a sticker on the rear, and a maximum speed of 80 km/h on country roads and 100 km/h on motorways. However, in Germany, spikes are not allowed due to potential road damage, and only emergency vehicles can use them.
The Michelin Easy Grip series offers a textile snow chain, approved throughout Europe and known for easy installation. The Michelin Easy Grip Evolution 11 Textile Snow Chain is a type of textile snow chain approved by TUV and suitable for use where snow chains are required.
Lastly, the UISEBRT Driving Aid is a set of plastic boards that can withstand up to 10 tons per plate and help when the car is stuck in snow, sand, or mud. ProPlus Driving Aids are affordable, foldable, and lightweight driving boards suitable for vehicles up to 3 tons total weight.
In conclusion, various driving aids are available to help navigate snowy conditions safely. Whether it's snow tires, traction mats, boards, or snow chains, choosing the right aid can make a significant difference in ensuring a safe and smooth journey.
