Daily Telegraph motoring writer mocks French snowchain laws and British motorists ... in this article.
Putting oneself into the mindset of a Telegraph reader, it's moderately amusing.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

James May has been spending too much time with Clarkson. Prats who neglect to take snowchains should have their car crushed.

David Goldsmith, So the funny fellow-graph has finally lost the plot.
Can we focus on advice ( as we see it) ?

Frosty the Snowman, Snow chains OR winter tyres is the actual requirement I believe.

I am a Geneva customer ... although will transfer to Conthey. Same company as UK kwikfit .... big French presence |
Yep. Romandie only. Since Bern is an hour and a half from us and Geneva almost 3 hours, I think the petrol costs make our local 100m down the road cheaper even if it is 35 squid a throw! But thanks anyway, appreciated

Thank you all for the advice.
Pirelli finally admitted that they only manafacture Winter tyres in June! and once they are all sold that's that until next June.
Jaguar Coventry could not help and blamed Pirelli but did concede (in writing ) that I could put any tyre's 'fit for purpose' on the car without affecting the Warranty.
So after many calls and e-mails. Micheldever tyres www.micheldever.co.uk Came up with Vredsteins that were available and acceptable to Jaguar. But they are a whopping £40.00 each more expensive than the Pirelli's.
Now fitted to the car the extra grip on wet/greasy roads is readily noticeable and makes little difference to noise or handling.
Having had a good look at what are now my 'summer tyres' I can easily see the difference and the reason why they were 'interesting' on snow and ice.
If you are in the South and looking for tyres Micheldever is to be reccomended.

Small bump
Driving back today there was once again a Gendarme and his speed gun at marker point 38.6 just before the Calais Peage and at the Peage 2 GB cars pulled over for speeding!
Four times since Christmas there has been a Radar check at 38.6 remember 130 kph is the speed limit.
