I feel so lucky to live in a place where winter tires are mandatory for the winter
Where I live, that would unnecessarily tear up the roads. It don't snow here
They don’t have spikes…
Well, some do. In Scandinavia many people drive tires with spikes. In Germany they are illegal. Depends on how hard winter is out there.
But are the spikes mandatory?
Nah, when I was on vacation there I was always allowed to drive my normal winter tires. On some mountain passes e.g. chains were mandatory though, and for good reason.
The roads are already so fucked up here from the corruption that took place in the construction industry (and it still probably does take place). The mafia owned all the construction companies and did shit work and charged more for less. So now all the roads are patched up and terrible to drive on. And the funny thing is as soon as you cross the border to Vermont or Ontario(I'm in Québec) it's like crossing magic portal, the roads are instantly spotless lol
You had me at Montreal in the first sentence lol
Yyyep!
That's how it feels when I have to drive through Mississippi; the state line can seem like night and day in regard to the roads. It sometimes goes from feeling like your off-road driving to smooth as butter
