Do you guys still have innocent until proven guilty? The UK doesn't, we abolished it. Police plant evidence and say you did it, it's up to you to prove you didn't.

I wouldn't be travelling two inches at 60mph though. During my reaction time (which is about 250ms), he would have slowed by how much? 5mph? Closing speed average would therefore be 2.5mph, a slow walking speed.
If they carry the snowflake symbol, which denotes they are suitable for use in winter conditions, yes. Most modern ones do.
Most probably.
Or all
It would be almost impossible to prove that a particular vehicle has damaged a specific piece of road. However, it is possible to prove that a vehicle is fitted with tyres that are capable of causing damage.
As I have mentioned elsewhere, I think it was illegal under an EU Regulation that banned them unless individual member states specifically allowed them in their national legislation. I don't know whether that regulation is among those that have been repealed since we left the EU.
All season tyres cost more?
The council damage roads pon purpose, they're called speedbumps. The jolts from them bugger up the hardcore in the surrounding road, shake houses, wake people up, and destroy suspension.
Have we removed any EU stuff at all?
There are various road legal tyres. Summer tyres, all terrain tyres, winter tyres, all season tyres, M & S tyres (German for something - we call them mud and snow). All of these represent more or less variations on a theme of rubber compound, sidewall stiffness, design contact area, tread pattern and so on, leading to various noise, wear, ride harshness and wet and dry grip levels, as well as grip on loose surfaces like sand gravel mud and snow.
There are an infinite number of permutations covered by simple marketing terms like 'winter tyres'
in the UK nearly all motoring is done on tarmac surfaces in the wet or dry. Specialised tyres for off roading or snow and mud usage are available, but you have to ask.
Most people want reasonable grip, low road noise, good wet weather performance reasonable life and low cost.
They are not concerned with racing around on snow loose gravel and mud. Or cutting through ice.
What surprises me is a tyre below the legal limit grips just as well as a new one.
Which is why the snowflake and triple mountain symbol is only put on tyres that meet the strictest winter use standards. When European countries specify that winter tyres are required, they will only accept those with that marking.
There are now "all weather" tires as well, and they are MUCH better for winter use while also being very acceptable summer tires. Likely not quite as good treadwear rating as a dedicated summer tire.
I once was questioned about the wingnuts securing the plates. The truth was it made it convenient to swap the plates to whatever rolling wreck was running that day but I came up with another story.
Not all breakers are GFCI.
ROFL! Is that a snowflake symbol for sissies who use safe tyres? (Snowflake being a slang term for sissy).
I wonder if you could just etch one on?
I managed to get budget tyres which lasted 3 months instead of 2 years. Must have been made of plasticine. They were absolutely bald by the time the next annual test came round.
Tee hee! They must be stupid if they think people don't move plates around.
So what was your excuse?
I don't care what they do, I just use fuses. And the equivalent to GFCI in the UK is just "earth leakage breaker" - we say ground for electronic circuits, and earth for mains We also don't call a wire hot when that's the last thing it should be. Anyway GFCI or whatever you call them are the pesky ones that trip for no reason. Usually something like operating a microwave oven (which have natural earth leakage), or I used an earth instead of a neutral because it happened to be there.
That's the usage in the US. I let my CDL lapse but I had double/triple trailers, tanker, and hazmat endorsements. My regular license has a motorcycle endorsement.
