ANWB called out en masse for winter sports enthusiasts: 11,500 reports of car trouble

Starting problems

What went wrong? Especially starting problems, fault reports and flat tires caused holidaymakers headaches in the snow. The cold affected many cars and those who set off without a winter-proof battery cost them dearly. Modern safety systems also proved sensitive to extreme temperatures, resulting in many malfunction signals.

Good snow

According to the ANWB, the large crowds were partly due to the excellent snow conditions, causing more Dutch people to take the car towards the Alps. So it was busy on the slopes, but consequently also at the ANWB alarm center.
