Tyre Checks


The following video was uploaded by the Driving Standards Agency - replaced (as of April 2014) the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency


In due course, this site will post a piece on tyre (N.B. according to online checks, 'tyre' is the preferred spelling for the UK, but the US spelling as 'tire' is also acceptable these days) requirements across Europe. Any suggestions as to sources of quality content will be welcomed.

A specific piece will also look closer at several other aspects of tire safety, including the new EU tyre labeling system,  the relative merits of 'summer', 'all season' and 'winter' tyres, and the importance of maintaining appropriate tyre pressures.

This is a backup to securitycheck.co.uk (click here).


This Google Blogger site is being prepared to act as a backup to deliver key live feeds relating to police, fire and traffic news, plus key reference links, when emergencies or overloads, take down the main sites at securitycheck.co.uk and elsewhere.

It will also, in time, service specific audiences with more targeted posts.

For full service, go to the main site, but remember to bookmark relevant regional pages on this site for emergencies, when the main site may be overloaded.

BEWARE, THIS site is called securitycheckuk.blogspot.com. There is another site called securitycheck.blogspot.com, which is completely different.
