An overloaded vehicle, long journeys

by motorway, particularly in very hot

weather, or continual driving on poorly

rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

Maintaining the tyres

The tyres must be in good condition

and the tread form must have sufficient

depth; tyres approved by our Technical

Department have tread wear indica-

tors 1 which are indicators moulded

into the tread at several points.

Incidents which occur when

driving, such as striking the
