UK drivers may face up to £10,000 fines and 12 penalty points for using tyres below the 1.6mm legal tread depth.
UK drivers could face fines up to £10,000 and 12 penalty points if their tyres fall below the legal 1.6mm tread depth minimum, according to RAC Drive.
Each tyre below the limit may incur a £2,500 fine and three penalty points, with four defective tyres triggering the maximum penalty.
Worn tyres increase stopping distances and reduce grip, especially in wet conditions, raising accident risks.
The RAC recommends using the 20p test—inserting a coin into the tread grooves—as a simple check; if the outer band is visible, the tread may be too low.
Drivers should inspect tyres every two weeks and before long trips, as illegal tyres can also void insurance claims.
