In the UK, an alarming 2.15 million vehicles failed MOT tests due to tyre defects last year. Road safety experts warn this could lead to more accidents. Currently, drivers ignore tyre warnings despite advisories. Safety groups demand stricter regulations and follow-up actions, potentially leading to £5 billion in fines for neglecting tyre safety. These measures aim to save lives on UK roads.
The failure of over two million vehicles is a systemic issue and needs serious addressing to prevent tragic road incidents.
