Tyre age discussion on MP’s agenda
The Shadow Secretary of State for Transport has requested a meeting with her non-shadow counterpart to talk tyres after learning of the role a 19 year old tyre played in a fatal coach crash last year. Garston and Halewood MP Maria Eagle, whose electorate was home to 18-year old Michael Molloy, one of three killed in last September’s crash, wishes to discuss the need for tyre age to be considered in law.
“Currently the law is framed in terms of the condition of the tyre, not the age,” the Liverpool Echo reported Eagle as saying. “I think this is something that needs to be looked at and I hope to be able to discuss this with the Department for Transport….we need to do all we can to ensure a tragedy like this never happens again.”
