WINTER ACCIDENT DATA AND WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS IN QUEBEC ARE SUMMARIZED AND THE IMPROVEMENT IN SAFETY GIVEN BY THE USE OF STUDDED TIRES IS INVESTIGATED. ACCIDENT DATA IN QUEBEC CITY WAS COMPARED FOR BOTH THE GROUP USING STUDDED TIRES AND THE GROUP NOT USING STUDDED TIRES. THE GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE TWO GROUPS WERE INVESTIGATED BY MEANS OF A QUESTIONNAIRE. ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS INDICATE THAT, FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE PRESENT STUDY THE GROUPS CAN BE CONSIDERED IDENTICAL. AN ANALYSIS OF THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE ACCIDENTS SHOWS THAT AN IMPROVEMENT OF SAFETY RELATED TO THE USE OF STUDDED TIRES, IF ANY, IS INFERIOR TO THE PRECISION OF THE DATA. ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS ALSO INDICATE THAT THE USE OF STUDDED TIRES DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE IMPROVED THE ACCIDENT RECORD OF PERSONS USING STUDDED TIRES. /AUTHOR/
