Survey points to wide support for winter tyre laws

A survey carried out by car supermarket Motorpoint indicates a healthy level of support for mandatory winter tyres in the UK. More than 1,400 people responded to the online study and 46 per cent of these expressed support for the introduction of legislation that would compel motorists to fit winter tyres. Commenting on the subject, Motorpoint managing director David Shelton said “while Government legislation may be a step too far at present, given the shocking state of our roads during the recent bad weather, winter tyres could be a sound investment for many people in the future.”
