When driving in winter, especially between cities, there are parts of the road where the cars have made tyre tracks or ruts that don’t follow the lane markings.

Which should I follow in winter: lane markings (when visible) or tyre tracks? Will the police pull me over for crossing lane markings? Will other cars follow tyre tracks instead and maybe crash/pass too close? What’s normal for most Finnish drivers?

  1. Safer to follow the tyre tracks. Just make sure you are in your own lane and not in the other lane’s tracks.

  2. Follow the tyre tracks. If there are only 3, move closer to the shoulder when someone comes towards you.
