As universities across the UK prepare to welcome back students, TyreSafe is issuing a timely reminder for the estimated 316,850 UK 18-year-olds who have applied for higher education this year to prioritise vehicle safety before setting off on their journeys. Three- in- five young drivers admit they never check their tyres, a concerning statistic given that approximately 6 million tyres with illegal tread are currently on UK roads, according to TyreSafe’s 2023 Tread Depth Survey.
