Research carried out by one of the UK’s largest tyre distributors has revealed that companies are increasingly subjecting their car fleets to compulsory tyre safety checks in response to concerns about the number of unsafe work vehicles on the UK’s roads.
The research, reported via the website of the National Tyre Distributors Association, was based on hundreds of thousands of tyre checks carried out over a two year period and suggests the around a quarter of inspected vehicles require immediate attention, usually due to the vehicle’s being fitted with tyres on which the tread depth is illegal.
A key reason for the increased demand for tyre checks is the potential impact of the corporate manslaughter act, which comes into force in April.
