BNB have to agree. If I have to chain up for an R3 then the little Nissan speedster shouldn't be allowed on the road.

The chain restrictions need updating anyway! A few years ago the made a big 4x trick stop and put on chains but let the mini coupe with chains through! If you are chaining up large 4x4s nothing else should get through!
