You may have heard me talk about this today on Hudson Valley Focus Live; here is how seriously they take this in Colorado when they declare a severe storm. Think how many thousands of people were in peril last night because so many people were unprepared. Granted it was a severe storm that came with little warning BUT will folks heed and now prepare for the winter ahead?
"Fines"
•Motorists driving with inadequate equipment during a Traction Law or Passenger Vehicle Chain Law could be fined more than $130.
•If a motorist blocks the roadway because they have inadequate equipment during a Traction Law or Passenger Vehicle Chain Law they could be fined more than $650.
At 60 MPH on snowy pavement, WINTER tires require 310 ft. to stop. All season tires require more than double that (668 ft.). Info from CDOT
