Can Traffic Officers require a driver’s tyres to be fitted with chains?

Correct answer

Yes, if the weather conditions require it.

Yes. When conditions require it, officers can impose that measure or restrict traffic for safety. Follow their instructions and applicable signs. Chains or permitted devices must be suitable for the vehicle and used as instructed; they do not guarantee that skidding is impossible or authorise using a closed road.
