What should be done if a link of the snow chain breaks while not responding to an emergency?

If a link of the snow chain breaks while not responding to an emergency, stopping immediately and removing the broken link is essential for safety and vehicle performance. When a snow chain is compromised, it can lead to ineffective traction, which increases the risk of skidding or losing control while driving. Removing the broken link helps to minimize potential damage to the vehicle and ensures that the remaining chain can function correctly.

Continuing to drive with a broken chain may present additional hazards, such as the possibility of the chain becoming entangled with the vehicle components, causing further issues. Reporting to the garage for repairs or replacing the chain during the next tour may not address the immediate safety concerns associated with driving with impaired traction. Therefore, taking prompt action by stopping and removing the broken link allows for safer driving conditions.
