If you don’t have winter tires and you lose control in the snow you deserve it. No one should have to deal with your slow, slippery, dumb ass just because you have no self preservation instincts.
There are places like North Carolina where I used to live that got snow once every 3 years or so, no real justification for having snow tires as that point. On the few occasions where it does snow everyone should just stay home, but some don’t have that luxury unfortunately.
So people getting injured and killed in preventable accidents is not a justification for an easy safety measure and the people who are affected just dont have the “luxury” of living another day?
A motor vehicle needs to be suitable to the road conditions. If there is snow, suitable tires should be mandatory. Doesn’t matter if it snows once every 3 or every 300 years. If the vehicle isn’t fit, it must not be on the road.

Which would be fine if they were the only ones on the road, but when their dumb ass puts me in the ditch too…
