Your Vehicle
Tyres and Brakes
Always ensure your vehicle is in top condition — particularly the tyres and brakes.
Weather conditions can change quickly, and poor maintenance can dramatically reduce safety.
-
Check tyre condition and pressure regularly.
-
Tyres should have adequate tread, be free from damage, and inflated correctly.
-
Uneven wear could indicate a mechanical fault — get it checked immediately.
-
Use winter or all-season tyres where appropriate.
Remember: A few millimetres of tread can be the difference between control and a skid.
Keep your brakes regularly serviced. Even good brakes take longer to stop on wet or slippery roads.
