UK drivers urged to check tyre tread with a 20p coin to avoid fines and ensure safety.
October is Tyre Safety Month, and UK drivers are urged to check tyre tread depth using a 20p coin—visible outer band means tread may be below the legal 1.6mm minimum.
Experts recommend testing multiple points around each tyre, inspecting for damage like cracks or bulges, and checking pressure regularly with a gauge.
Illegal tyres can lead to fines up to £2,500 per tyre—totaling £10,000 for four—and three penalty points.
With an estimated 6 million illegal tyres in use, unsafe tyres increase accident risk and may void insurance.
Regular checks are essential for safety and compliance.
