Now that we've got that out of the way, here’s another
question: Do Canadian Drivers
Underestimate the Value of Winter Tires?
To discover the answer, let’s refer to a recent study
undertaken by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation in Canada which has found
that Canadian drivers aren't yet clued into the benefits of winter tires.
The report is entitled “Winter Tires: A Review of Research
on Effectiveness and Use” and examined efficiencies of winter tires and their
potential effects. Included in the study was an examination of Canadians’ views
and perceptions on the use of winter tires.
Surprisingly, a great many Canadian motorists who do not make
the seasonal change over to winter tires admitted that the extra costs involved
play a major role in their yearly decision to refrain from using winter tires. Other
more scarier attitudes also surfaced in this study.
But the bottom line is that winter tires need to play a
consistent role in the safe winter driving habits of all NL motorists.
