UK tyre safety campaign gets HIghways Agency backing

ERJ staff report (DS)

London -- The UK Highways Agency has for the first time backed tyre safety month in the UK. Organised by TyreSafe, the UK's leading tyre safety organisation, the campaign will educate drivers about the importance and simplicity of checking tyre tread depth. With the Highways Agency's endorsement, campaign materials will be distributed across the UK through local road safety partnerships which includes county councils, emergency services and other relevant organisations, reaching a wider audience than ever before.

Ginny Clarke, director of network services for the Highways Agency, said: “The Highways Agency is pleased to be backing TyreSafe as they launch this year's tyre safety month. The simple 20p test is an essential part of preparing for your journey. By checking that tyres are still in good condition, drivers are helping to avoid accidents, and the risk of delays to their journey as a result.”
