Πού είναι υποχρεωτικά τα χειμερινά ελαστικά στην Ευρώπη;

Μια περίληψη από τις νομοθεσίες

Οι νόμοι που διέπουν τη χρήση των χειμερινών ελαστικών  διαφέρουν από χώρα σε χώρα και από περιοχή σε περιοχή. Έτσι, πού είναι υποχρεωτικά τα χειμερινά ελαστικά στην Ευρώπη;

Πού είναι υποχρεωτικά τα χειμερινά ελαστικά στην Ευρώπη;

  • Αυστρία
  • Λευκορωσία
  • Βοσνία Εζεργοβήνη
  • Τσεχία
  • Εσθονία
  • Φιλανδία
  • Γερμανία 
  • Ισλανδία
  • Λετονία
  • Λιθουανία
  • Βόρεια Μακεδονία
  • Μολδαβία
  • Μαυροβούνιο
  • Ρωσία
  • Σερβία 
  • Σλοβενία
  • Σουηδία

Οι νόμοι που διέπουν τη χρήση των χειμερινών ελαστικών  διαφέρουν από χώρα σε χώρα και από περιοχή σε περιοχή. Επομένως τίθενται το ερώτημα, πού είναι υποχρεωτικά τα χειμερινά ελαστικά στην Ευρώπη; 

Λάβετε υπόψη ότι υπάρχει πιθανότητα να ενημερώνονται και να τροποποιούνται οι νόμοι, καθώς κυμαίνεται η μέση τοπική θερμοκρασία , γι αυτό συνιστούμε να κάνετε διπλό έλεγχο των τοπικών νόμων προτού ταξιδέψετε στο εξωτερικό το χειμώνα. Για παράδειγμα, μεγάλα τμήματα της χώρας στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο  αντιμετωπίζουν σπάνια παρατεταμένες περιόδους ακραίων καιρικών φαινομένων και, όταν συμβαίνει αυτό, οι περισσότεροι οδηγοί απλά επιλέγουν να μην οδηγούν. Δεν θα ήταν οικονομικά λογικό να καταστούν υποχρεωτικά τα χειμερινά ελαστικά.
