Yet another reason to get rid of studded tires; State Patrol Troopers say a three car crash this morning was caused by studs. An Elk man was attempting to turn left off Highway 2 near Newport when he alledgely slid on the studs and crashed into the back of another car. He then went into oncoming traffic, hitting a car going the other direction.
The man was cited for negligent driving and driving with studded tires. Washington requires drivers to remove studded tires by April 1.
Studs don't damage the roads, heavy trucks do.
Heavy trucks definetely damage roads too, which is why there are designated truck routes, although they're not always adhered to. And don't get me started on studs…
