It's okay to snow on the road. I rented a car in Interlaken the night before, and it snowed heavily in the middle of the night. I rented a car the next morning. After the snow, the snowplow will immediately clear the snow, and the road will not freeze. It may have been sprinkled with snowmelt. Pedestrian sidewalks may be a bit slippery.

Hello fellow car owners, I wonder if any of you have encountered being charged by the car dealership? (Main reason: The other party was fully responsible for the accident, and they had full coverage insurance while we only had basic insurance. When we returned the car, the dealership said the other party would compensate us. Six months later, we received a notification saying that they were investigating whether there were any damages to the car that were not caused by a third party, and then they charged over 10,000 yuan to our credit card. How should we handle this?) ? Switzerland Q&A
