Chain Required
Chain Required
by Blake Young
If you live in a climate with real winters, you have probably seen a sign like this: “Chains Required, 4WD with Snow Tires OK.”
This signage exists for the safety of travelers during winter driving conditions. For those unfamiliar with chains, here is a quick explanation.
Chains can be metal links, mesh, or textured cables that wrap around tires and cut through snow to provide traction. They can mean the difference between reaching your destination slowly and not being able to move at all.
The alternatives without chains are not pleasant. You could find yourself spinning your tires in place, or moving with no ability to stop or turn.
If you have ever put chains on your car, you know the instant feeling of stability they provide. The safety and confidence increase dramatically as your tires grip the snow-packed roads.
I even use this concept when walking my dog. We get snowy and icy weather, and the path I walk has steeper slopes.
That is fine, because I have chains for my shoes. They simply slip over my boots and off I go.
Ice and snow are not a threat when you are chained up.
