Almost one-in-ten vehicles examined by ATS Euromaster at the recent Fleet Van Conference were found to have at least one tyre which was at or below the legal limit, or had a major defect requiring immediate attention.

Peter Fairlie, ATS group sales director said: “Duty of care and the Corporate Manslaughter Act 2007 are playing a significant role in raising awareness within the fleet sector of the importance of tyre safety but, as this random inspection shows, more still needs to be done.”
