Being safe in winter when driving

Tyres

The minimum tread depth is 1.6 mm of tread.  But if you are on that now then winter is going to be a dangerous place for you.  

Firstly if you are approaching the 1.6mm minimum then you need to start thinking about changing the tyre so you don't end up driving with tyres that are illegal.

Secondly, the lower the tread depth the more chance you have of losing the grip on the roads and skidding into a bush or a lamp post.  Also as winter takes its grip the roads get frost, ice, mud and snow on at some point.  So the more tread depth the better the grip, which means less chance of skidding. www.drive-travis.co.uk
