Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with traffic regulations and the General Vehicle Regulations, when the use of approved chains or anti-skid devices is mandatory, they must be fitted at least on the drive wheels. The drive wheels are those that receive the force of the engine and transmit the power to the asphalt to propel the vehicle. If they were fitted on non-drive wheels, the bus would lose the traction needed to move forward on slippery surfaces, causing skids and loss of control. For that reason, the legal reference is not the front or rear axle as such, but the axle that transmits traction.
