We have had customers coming into our Bourne centre today because the Cambridgeshire Police have been leaving a ‘Fixed Penalty’ notification on their cars.
The note explains the Police have been conducting a Road Safety Day of Action and are looking at the safety of the cars they see.
Tyres are an obvious area too look at and tread depth readings have been taken.
Any vehicle found to have a tread depth close to or under the legal limit (1.6mm) are left a ticket explaining the reason why tread is used on tyres to gain grip in the wet as well as informing the driver of which wheel they have spotted as being defective.
Rather than beng notified by the Police, we recommend you check your tyres regularily. Using a 20p coin is a good guage to see if your tyres are above the legal limit.
If you are unsure, call into any of our centres and we will check your tyres for you free of charge.
Better still, take advantage of our Free Winter Vehicle Check to make sure your car is fully prepared the cold & frosty months ahead.
Christmas has arrived early in our Spalding Branch when a visit from two cars which are more than capable of helping Santa deliver his presents faster on Xmas eve. The mighty R33 GTR and an exceptionally rare Lotus Omega Carlton visited for a free WINTER check.
Something a bit different visited our Spilsby depot earlier in the year. ‘Gasser Champ’ Sean Milsom brought in some loose wheels for new tyres to be fitted to his modified Morris Van ahead of competing at Santa Pod and Melbourne Raceways in the ‘Gasser Circus’ race series.
This 1972 Plymouth ‘Roadrunner’ visited our Horncastle Branch recently for a wheel alignment. This huge American muscle car has a 6.6 litre 402 cubic inch V8. With great power comes great responsibility........
