Când devin obligatorii, de fapt, anvelopele de iarnă. Regula pe care mulți șoferi o interpretează greșit

In Romania, winter tires are not mandatory by a specific date but depend on road conditions. Drivers face fines and registration certificate retention if they drive without appropriate tires on snowy or icy roads. The law requires winter tires when roads are covered with snow, ice, or frost. Heavy vehicles and those for passenger transport have specific tire requirements. Fines for non-compliance range from 1,946.25 to 4,325 lei, and police may confiscate vehicle registration certificates. Tires must meet homologation standards and bear specific markings to be considered winter tires. The Romanian Police advises drivers to check weather forecasts and road conditions before winter travel.
