You could, as a public safety 'just in case' legistlation, in the same way that I have to carry a fire extinguisher and first aid kit in my car even though I legally cannot use either ::)

Winter tyres are a must at this time of year, they help your car float in floods, or so I've heard.  ::) :P :P :P ;D ;D ;D ;D
