 Crashed twice in snow in a Disco with winter tyres on. They ain't crash proof.

they are now recognized by the french police as a replacement for chains
I was told a few weeks back in the alps that snow socks are *not* recognised...wonder where you have your information from? Got a formal link somewhere (preferably in French that I can print out and put in the car)? Autosocks rock, so much easier to put on and take off than chains, and easily enough to get out of most situations...

I believe I read in on here in another posting , if I can find it again I will post it on here
As they are now selling them in the supermarkets in the alps I would have thought they were legal
I am well aware of the capabilities of a 2.7 tonne Disco , if driven with due care and at appropriate speeds for the conditions there is not normally a problem
Cars rarely crash on there own apart from mechanical failure it is usually the person behind the wheel that causes the accident ( or the numpty in the the car coming towards you )
