Tyre Safety Gains National Focus in RoSPA Strategy 

For the first time in its 100-year history, the National Accident Prevention Strategy includes tyres as a critical focus, recognising vehicle defects as an underappreciated cause of road collisions.

  This report demonstrates the urgent need for public education and enforcement on tyre safety. TyreSafe supports the Strategy’s recommendations and the proposed creation of a Road Safety Investigation Branch to address severe incidents caused by vehicle defects.

Stuart Lovatt, TyreSafe Chair, said, “The inclusion of tyres in the National Accident Prevention Strategy and focus on vehicle defects represents a pivotal shift in road safety policy. Tyres are the only contact point between a vehicle and the road; their condition is paramount. We welcome the proposal to establish the RSIB, to better investigate vehicle defects in serious incidents and urge continued collaboration to educate drivers and enforce regulations.”
