Seatbelts

  • You must wear a seatbelt if one is fitted
  • Anyone aged 14 and over is responsible for wearing their seatbelt
  • It is the drivers' responsibility for anyone under the age of 14
  • Children must use a correct car seat until they reach 135cm or 12th birthday

Tyre pressure

  • Check your tyre pressures at least once a month or before a long journey
  • Pressures should be checked against the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended level. This can be found in the vehicle handbook and on a plate which is often located inside the fuel filler flap or on the driver’s door sill
  • Check the pressure when tyres are cold (i.e. when you have travelled less than two miles)
  • If you are carrying a full load of passengers or luggage or will be towing a trailer or caravan, tyre pressures should be increased in line with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. Details can be found in the vehicle handbook
  • Ensure a reliable and accurate pressure gauge is used
  • Check the pressure in all four tyres not forgetting to check the spare tyre as well
  • While checking pressures, give the rest of the tyre a visual inspection. Remove any stones and other objects embedded in the tread. Look out for any bulges, lumps or cuts
  • If you are unsure on any aspect of tyre pressure or tyre condition take your vehicle to an approved fitting centre and speak to the experts
