Drivers could be hit with an eye-watering £10,000 fine if they make a tyre mistake during heavy rain. As the UK continues to experience gloomy, autumnal weather, many areas could see wet conditions continue throughout October.
This puts not just the driver but other road users at serious risk of harm. Specialists at Western & Barnetts Toyota explained that you could be fined £2,500 per tyre if they are not safe. Tyre safety According to National Tyres and Autocare, the legal tread depth for tyres in the UK is 1.6mm throughout a continuous band in the centre ¾ of the tread and around the entire circumference of the tyre.
Although aquaplaning is usually caused by wet road surfaces it can be more likely to happen if your tyres are worn and if you are travelling fast.
