Failing to maintain the tyres properly on a vehicle causes more car accidents and car accident compensation claims than most people realize.  You can receive three penalty points and up to a £2,500 fine per tyre if they are found to be unsafe.  A road traffic accident and subsequent compensation claim from the victims would work out a lot more costly to you than making sure your tyres are well-maintained in the first place. 

It is illegal to drive with tyres that have tread of less than 1.6 millimetres, but it is recommended that tyres are replaced when the tread reaches 3mm deep.  If you have suffered a punctured tyre before when travelling at speed, you can only imagine the devastation it can bring if your tyre blows while passing another vehicle or pedestrians.  Your car is likely to swerve and can cause serious road traffic accidents if the tyres are not up to standard.  Road accident compensation claims have shot up in the past few years, and many are due to the poor maintenance of cars and other road-using vehicles. Tyres should also be inflated properly to the correct tyre pressure.

The Road Vehicles Regulations, 1986 includes safety stipulations for the general roadworthiness of vehicles.  These regulations relate not only to the tyres, but to the steering wheels, brakes, fuel and emissions, and equally important, the tyre condition.  It is estimated that 12% of cars and vans on UK roads has at least one faulty or unsafe tyre.  Under-inflated tyres also cause massive problems on the roads, as they cause cars to skid and become uncontrollable. Road accidents caused by under inflated tyres, and defective tyres can result in serious injury and death.  Road accident compensation claims can be reduced by drivers regularly checking their vehicles and making sure they are safe and well maintained.
