I'd rather have a system like Germany where we had to put winter tyres on, and had less salt dumped on the roads.

I hate it especially as my car's an import and therefore not undersealed

We've seen that people can't handle a bit of frost without crashing so imagine the chaos without salt, winter tyres or not.

If that was an option, it would have happened already.

I don't have the space/facilities to go spraying underseal around here.
