It's just the alternative proposed in above is not better. In fact, I assert it's worse.
I believe that a road made safer with salt and sand is better than requiring individuals to take the steps of adding chains, tire studs, etc.
I do not trust anyone to be so careful and intelligent and responsive to varying conditions.
I expect enforcement of a "chain proclamation" to be haphazard at best esp. because it would occur precisely when enforcing traffic laws is the most difficult due to adverse weather.
I assert that car maintenance is an acceptable price to pay to hedge against accidents and save lives through the widespread use of salt.
I'm just clarifying, I do agree with you about how expensive it can be and how nice it is to own a car in Cali or other dry, warm areas.
