Alternate Route

Oct 10, 2008 - Snows? Oui Whee

The snow tire police are coming in Quebec. A new law on the books requires all taxis and passenger vehicles to have snow tires on all wheels in Quebec between December 15 and March 15.

This is causing a bit of a potential problem as tire manufacturers scramble to meet the forced increase in demand.

Another real problem is exactly how this is going to be enforced.

Each police station will have to decide how it will check for winter tires because no across-the-board procedures have been mapped out, Sûreté du Québec Sergeant Mélanie Paul said.

"For now, we have no specific operations planned, but simply put, officers who stop someone for another infraction will be checking if the car has winter tires," Paul said.

It's going to be a fun winter up North!
