    Hi there,

    according to the law (http://www.viaggi4x4.it/neve_4x4.php) you can choose between chains and snow tyres (and that's not only with 4x4 but also for all cars).

    So as long as you have snow tyres you are fine.

    Still it is recommended to have snow chains when the snow is really very high.

    Ok just to clarify... "pure business role" meaning you have nothing to do with IT... "IT role", you have to do with business and IT.

    hey Franko,

    question,

    Benes Invoicing Ltd and Family are coming to Italy in a few weeks time for skiing.

    We'll be driving down in the big Datsun.

    The big Datsun is a 4x4, giving consideration to this, as it is a 4x4, do I still by Italian law need to carry a set of chains in the mountains ? Or are chains only a requirement for non 4x4 cars ?

    Thanks and greetings,

    Milan.

    Or do they really work harder than IT guys?

    Any opinion? Experience?
    "IT guys" do work in business - it's the notion that we don't that makes IT a prime target for cuts.
