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.
Over in our Spalding branch the influence of the far east could be easily felt as two Japanese classics were brought to us from Baileys Prestige and Performance. The first an immaculate Pearl White Nissan R33 GT-R having Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres fitted to a set of new light weight race wheels supplied by our friends over at SR Autosource.
Hoping for some warmer weather this 1985 VW camper van visited our Spalding depot in preparation for the suns return later in the year. The driver chose to have Rapid tyres fitted. This is a great choice of tyre as it offers peace of mind with a full accidental damage guarantee.
The Porsche Carrera GT was already a quick car around the Nürburgring. Can modern tyre technology really make much of a difference to its lap time? Hold onto your hats and delve deeper.
