NI motorists urged to check tyres ahead of Bank Holiday


Drivers in Northern Ireland preparing to get away and make the most of the final Bank Holiday weekend of the year are being reminded to check their tyre pressures before setting out.

TyreSafe warns that tyre pressures should be checked at least once a month or before a long journey and should be adjusted for any additional loads being carried.

Motorists travelling on under-inflated tyres are much more likely to suffer a serious blowout endangering themselves, passengers and other road users.

"Too many drivers experience a dangerous blowout, particularly over the August bank holiday weekend, simply because they have not taken the time to prepare their car properly beforehand," explains Stuart Jackson, chairman, TyreSafe.
