Driving on snow in summer tyres doesn't bother me.It's only legislating for the lowest common denobinator and I suppose it snows often enough in Europe to be necessary.

No, I haven't.But I have driven in heavy snow on multiple occasions, so take from that what you will.

Well, I dunno, I'm not a perfect driver by any meansbut all the people I've seen getting stuck are either driving impossibly unsuitable vehicles for the conditions or just flat-out morons.

I got stuck once at the bottom of a steep dip on a duel carriageway. Absolutely no way of getting up ether side. Absolutely fucked. That changed my mind.
