I guess every law starts off to something, sometimes good. But now and
then the results are well off the target.
Years ago in BR a new law made a specific felony placing firearms in
hands of minors. Target being disarm underage thieves by jailing without
bail anyone arming those. Target hit - the law made no allowance to
fathers taking their kids to target ranges, shooting contests, etc...
Took a while to change that unintended effect, made precious little
difference to crime as now the guns used by under and of age thieves
started to "grow out of bushes", "fall from some window" or "just appear
on the ground".
Since the place is so extreme you need a law to keep out the "unworthy"
vehicles, you should be able to buy at a special price (with government
help, of course) some kind of "worthy transportation". If you (like me)
dislike those tall SUVs, maybe you could buy a Subaru sedan or station
wagon or maybe a Mitsubishi Lancer (all with permanent 4wd, interesting
motors available). The moment you get that amendment working, PLEASE
tell me so I can move there and get mine, ok?
Probably more effective to start testing the drivers in harsh weather
and issuing a special all weather license. I know it's been so long
since my last driving experience I'm not fit to face any serious snow -
I'd need to get back in shape.

Interesting indeed - if only the government would help you buy a
"proper" vehicle... or set of tyres. Good luck!!!
Actually, the idea is just to keep people off the roads who shouldn't
be on the roads whenever it snows around here. I'm willing to do my
part by staying off the roads.
The law just has some unintended effects and while it keeps some
idiots off the roads it isn't really effective for dealing with idiots
who have 4WD.
I think they'd do better to register all 4WD vehicles, test the
drivers and make a list of who to preemptively lock up whenever it snows.
