Almost self policing! - when it snows....chances are that the abandoned and stuck cars are on summer tyres =hefty fine and penalty points. They seem to manage policing it in much of Europe.
Police here have ANPR and still there are a million uninsured cars on the roads . People who dont bother with insurance usually dont even register the cars as their's. As much as I agree with you it would be impossible to police here .

Very pretty and we’ve had more than I thought, hopefully the main roads are better than mine 🥹 I’ll find out shortly!
Main roads are not too bad now in MK . A421 was awful though this morning down to one lane

Bonkers!! I was in Austria 2 days ago - drove for 2hrs through heavy snow from Mayrhofen to Salzburg. No problems on any of the roads, despite laying snow- apart from a few speed restrictions. The only difference is that Austrian/German law requires all-season or winter tyres on all vehicles. Cars don't grind to a stop over an inch or two of snow and most importantly don't block the road for gritters/ploughs etc.
About time that all-season tyres became the requirement over here? the argument about all-seasons being unsuitable for the summer is rubbish, with most continental drivers keeping all-season tyres on all year.
We dont really get the weather conditions to warrant it. They cant get a estimated 1 million cars in the UK to have insurance , what chance do they have policing winter tyres

I'll know if it starts snowing as my ring camera will jingle on the phone.
Don't need to watch the lamppost to see if it's snowing anymore.
Except for when it is, then I just stare at it in wonder
Would be great to see some snow in December for sure
