If they even let you pass. If chains for AWD vehicles become mandatory expect the following:
- Police check and only those with mounted chains are allowed to pass.
- Road conditions were chains are not just a recommendation.
In other situation the police can simply forbid you to drive further unless chains are mounted.
The big fine and hassle comes when you crash the car w/o chains when chains had been mandatory. Not only is the fine in such a situation a bit higher (there is not set fine as it will be a citation instead a simple fine from the police) but also the insurance might nit cover you as it is considered gross negligence.
