🚗🌧️ Tyre Safety Matters This Autumn 🌧️🚲
As the days get darker and roads become wetter, making sure your tyres are in good condition can help keep every journey safer.
✅ Check your tyre tread depth regularly
✅ Ensure tyres are correctly inflated
✅ Look for signs of damage or excessive wear
✅ Allow more space for braking on wet roads
✅ Reduce your speed and drive smoothly in changing conditions
Wet roads can make it harder to stop in time, especially in busy urban areas where people walking, cycling, and riding may be less visible. Take extra care at junctions, crossings and when turning, and remember to look out for cyclists who may be sharing the road.
A few simple checks before you set off can make a big difference for you and everyone around you.
