requirement to drive on the coquihalla? My friends and I are planning to go to big white in the next week, we're driving there. I wasn't sure about what the requirement is to drive on the coquihalla; do I need to have winter tires mounted or is having chains in the trunk sufficient? I tried googling but I only found general winter driving tips but nothing about the traffic law of going through those snowy areas. Could someone please help? Thanks |
Right now with the warm weather just as long as you have good all season tires it should be fine. Normally you should have winter tires and chains as well. |
just be sure to check the road conditions online before u go. drivebc.ca |
IIRC, signs posted just before mountainous roads say that either winter tires w/ good tread or else chains are required between Oct 1 and the end of April. If the weather is good I don't think anyone will care. |
I just drove from Calgary to Vancouver with Summer Tires , The Road was not too bad , WET Rain All the way , Temperature in -2 to plus 2 through out the mountains |
like the above said, and prepare for the worst. have the chains and know how to use them, keep a shovel and some sand in the car, some blankets, a couple candles and some matches (a lit candle in a car provides enough heat to keep you alive). |
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. What car are you taking and what tires are on it? |
my civic si, heh. some crappy all season tire i might just buy some random chains and put them in the trunk in case they check me. I have 0 intention of ever mounting it though since it'll ruin my rims... |
Just drove from Calgary to Vancouver on Friday. Absolutely beautiful drive. Weather was perfect. U won't have problems with Summer tires. |
