Why skipping tire chains in Truckee can cost you

Ignoring chain control signs on snowy Donner Summit isn’t just risky—it can hit your wallet hard. A trucker recently learned this the hard way after getting stuck and needing a CHP tow, all because they skipped putting chains on their tires. Not only did they face a dangerous situation, but they also got slapped with a hefty fine that could reach $500. With California’s strict chain laws in winter, it’s clear: those signs aren’t just suggestions. Have you ever seen someone try to beat the weather rules? What’s your take on these chain requirements? #Transportation #Truckee #WinterDriving
