The Road Safety Hour: Tyres and Tarmac webinar
20 June 2023 Webinar
Join the latest Road Safety Hour webinar series with the Road Surface Treatments Association (RSTA) and Tyresafe.
Covering basic checks, how to inspect the air pressure and the tyre tread levels, plus talking over how a tyre's overall condition can make a crucial difference in how a car performs.
While safety is paramount, properly maintained tyres can reduce fuel bills and have a longer life. Tyre safety is the responsibility of everyone, whether it's the individual company car driver or the business they work for.
Safe tyres save lives whether you are driving or riding for work, home or leisure. Daily checks that your vehicle is #ReadyForTheRoad reduce the likelihood of a roadside event. Tyres plays a vital role in road safety as they are the only point of contact a car has the road.
