One big problem I see is tire availability. When it was pushed through in Quebec you couldn't get a set of winters to save your life. I don't use winters but a friend of mine was looking for some and called up most of the major and a few of the minor tire shops in the city and was told March, when he had called in November. The tire manufacturers knew about this change in legislation, as did the tire shops, well in advance and my buddy was a victim of circumstance in buying a new car right in time for winter to hit. Why weren't the Manufacturers and shops prepared when they know the consumer will not be?
