Ciao tutti.
Believe you're having a bit of wintery weather in the UK. So are we.
This prompts me to remind anyone planning trips to Italy over the next couple of months; and especially to Northern/Central regions; that on many stretches of the autostrade system chains on board or winter tyres are required if there is any snow about. In general, controls are only carried out if there is actually snow, athough it is a legal requirement.
Hi Eddied, thanks for the heads up. I have been checking out your list and they all end the day before I finish my trip so they will apply.
I was keeping clear of the north but some are in areas I might go unless there snow.
I have no intention of fitting them but I might need to borrow some to carry just to be legal if I get stopped. Any sort will do as it wont matter if they dont fit
There are requirements for chains/winter tyres on some surprising places in Italy, like the road (not a motorway) across the top of the 'toe' from the south coast to the west, and in January last year it did snow and we were illegal - but not now we aren't!
Ciao, chains or winter tyres only are considered legal. Socks and similar have not yet been homologated and made legal. Oh, and don't forget most motorhomes are FRONT WHEEL drive.
saluti,
eddied
