Thanks for the tips; but I don’t think my boss will go for any of that stuff. I haven’t enough faith in snow chains to take them over 20 kph. To many times they have thrown themselves into the scenery and I’ve had to mend them with the padlocks from the trailer boxes.
Headlights are a problem but I also worry about the rear lights when driving in falling or blowing snow. All to often they will get covered with snow; especially LEDs that don’t have heat to melt it. If I stop to clean the screen, I always clean the trailer lights first and hope that anybody who is following my tracks doesn’t plough into the back of the trailer.T

That’s what I was thinking when I saw these accidents, I thought why aren’t they switching hazard lights on to warn drivers behind them to slow down, until I realised, these hazard lights are actually on, it’s only that they are covered in snow and ice, so drivers behind can’t see them no matter if they are on or off.
