10月是轮胎安全月,敦促联合王国司机使用20p硬币检查轮胎胎面深度,外带可以看到20p硬币表示胎面可能低于法定最低1.6毫米。 October is Tyre Safety Month, and UK drivers are urged to check tyre tread depth using a 20p coin—visible outer band means tread may be below the legal 1.6mm minimum. 专家建议在每个轮胎周围测试多个点,检查裂缝或肿块等损坏情况,并定期用测量仪检查压力。 Experts recommend testing multiple points around each tyre, inspecting for damage like cracks or bulges, and checking pressure regularly with a gauge. 非法轮胎可导致罚款最高为每轮胎2,500英镑——4个罚款点和3个罚款点共罚款10,000英镑。 Illegal tyres can lead to fines up to £2,500 per tyre—totaling £10,000 for four—and three penalty points. 由于估计有600万个非法轮胎在使用,不安全轮胎增加了事故风险,并可能使保险无效。 With an estimated 6 million illegal tyres in use, unsafe tyres increase accident risk and may void insurance. 定期检查对安全和遵守规定至关重要。 Regular checks are essential for safety and compliance.
