So another stupid California law. It also states if they feel like your car can't deal with the weather they can force you to turn around. So I doubt they'd let our car anywhere near it.

Even in the mountains a good set of winter tires will be all you need. Those regulations should be updated at least once a century. I bet they haven't changed in 50 or 60 years.
