Wanted: Commercial/OTR Tyre Industry Professionals that would like to add additional revenue to their businesses.

With rain showers forecast across much of the UK this coming Spring Bank Holiday weekend, tyre safety organisation TyreSafe is encouraging drivers to check the condition of their tyres before setting off.

The number of tyre-related accidents could be on the rise after it emerged that an increasing number of van and other light commercial vehicle operators in the UK are neglecting the upkeep of their tyres.

Tyres that are poorly maintained or under inflated have the potential to cause car accidents. This is why it is particularly worrying to learn that shockingly few UK drivers actually bother to check the pressure of their tyres.

In 2007, defective or under-inflated tyres were a contributory factor in the death of 43 motorists in the UK, and played a part in a further 984 accidents.
