Defective tyres and wheels accounted for a fifth of MoT failures in 2007, according to statistics from VOSA.
This year’s Tyre Safety Month will focus on the importance of tyre pressure in vehicle safety, helping motorists to understand the dangers of under and over-inflated tyres, as well as raising awareness of how, where and when to check tyre pressure. There are plenty of opportunities for the trade to get involved to help promote this vital safety message to consumers. The NTDA will also be showing its support.
Building on the success of last year’s Tyre Safety Month, we would encourage the tyre trade to show the same enthusiasm this year to help consumers understand the dangers of under and over-inflated tyres,” says TyreSafe chairman Rob Beddis. “There are plenty of opportunities for the trade to get involved and show their support.”
Did You Know That: TyreSafe is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of the dangers of defective and worn tyres. TyreSafe has campaigned consistently to underline the importance of tyre safety for more than 15 years and was rewarded with the Prince Michael International Road Safety Award in 2001.
TyreSafe receives positive support from many major tyre manufacturers and retailers, and has been credited with reducing the number of defective tyres in the UK over the past decade from 18% to 12%.
TyreSafe supports the government’s ACT ON CO2 campaign which promotes Smarter Driving tips to help cut CO2 emissions from driving. For more information visit www.dft.uk/ActOnCO2.
