On which wheels is it advisable to fit snow chains when the snow is shallow?
Safe driving
Explanation
To drive safely in snowy conditions, it is essential to place **chains on the driving wheels** of the vehicle. The driving wheels are the ones that receive the engine's power and, therefore, are responsible for moving the vehicle forward or backward.
- **Placing chains on the driving wheels** improves the vehicle's grip on snowy roads, which is crucial since snow reduces the tires' adherence to the road. This helps prevent the vehicle from skidding and facilitates its control.
- The R-412 sign indicates the obligation to use chains in snowy conditions, and these must be placed specifically on the driving wheels to ensure that the vehicle can continue to circulate safely.
Therefore, whenever the snow is shallow and the use of chains is required, they must be placed on the driving wheels to maximize traction and safety while driving.
