In the past two days, I've had about 15 inches of snow (central Germany). Yeah, it is a lot....typically, you get around two or three inches of snow.
So what I noticed on an attempt to 'escape' the village....traffic accidents, and the police closing various roads.
This brings up the topic of people still using summer tires (in winter) and what problems you end up in.
If the cops review your vehicle and it's still got summer tires on.....that's an automatic 60 Euro fine, and one point on your license.
If you caused an accident with summer tires on? Well....your insurance will typically pay (not in all cases) but it'll end up as a dramatic increase. If you shift over to another company....they will ask about accidents, and you might have to detail what triggered your last accident.
Using the strategy of summer tires all year-round? You could do this....as long as you planned to park the car in poor weather and just wait things out.
