Drivers are risking fines of £2,500 and three penalty points on their licence by not maintaining their vehicles. The hefty fines could be slapped on those not paying attention to their tyres.
Those taking to Nottinghamshire roads and heading further afield are being warned that knowing how to maintain their car is essential for motoring safety. It can also alleviate any risk of being landed with thousands of pounds worth of fines. The warning comes from car finance firm, CarMoney.
The Highway Codes warns tyres must be correctly inflated to the vehicle manufacturer's specification for the load being carried. Along with checking tyre pressure, drivers must check tread depth. Failure to maintain tyres is not only dangerous but could also be financially costly.
