Friday, February 26, 2010 Alaska to Make Winter Tires Mandatory?
 After the Province of Quebec, it looks like Alaska, the most northern American state, might make winter tires mandatory during the cold season. Such a bill is under consideration in the Alaska Legislature, according to many local newspapers. The bill, proposed by Rep. John Harris, R-Valdez, also includes studded tires that would be acceptable and, obviously, many specific brands approved by the Alaska Department of Public Safety. A special committee has heard the measure alongside a plan that would restrict the use of cell phones when driving. (ED)
