AutoExec Summary
Australians are gearing up for winter adventures, with snow chains being a crucial item for navigating snowy or icy roads. Snow chains are metal links that provide traction between tyres and the road, with different classifications for tensioning. In New South Wales, snow chains are mandatory for two-wheel drive cars in certain areas, while all Victorian drivers in alpine areas must carry snow chains. Snow chains should be fitted to the rear or front wheels of vehicles depending on the drive type. Driving with snow chains requires different behaviors, such as maintaining a safe speed and distance.
