( 3 ) Road maintenance crews try to reduce the danger of skidding by scattering sand upon the
road surface.
( 10 ) We therefore have to settle for the method described above as the lesser of two evils.
( 8 ) Their spikes grip the icy surfaces and enable the motorist to corner safely where non-
spiked tyres would be disastrous.
( 5 ) Its main drawback is that if there are fresh snowfalls the whole process has to be repeated,
and if the snowfalls continue, it becomes increasingly ineffective in proving some kind of grip for
tyres.
( 7 ) These tyres prevent most skidding and are effective in the extreme weather conditions as
long as the roads are regularly cleared of loose snow.
( 4 ) Such a measure is generally adequate for our very brief snowfalls.
( 1 ) Whenever there is snow in England, some of the country roads may have blackice.
( 6 ) In Norway, where there may be snow and ice for nearly seven months of theyear,
the law requires that all cars be fitted with special spike tyres.

the road.
