使用低于1.6毫米法定胎面深度的轮胎,联合王国司机可能面临最高10 000英镑的罚款和12个罚款点。 UK drivers may face up to £10,000 fines and 12 penalty points for using tyres below the 1.6mm legal tread depth.

据RAC驱动器称,如果联合王国司机的轮胎低于法定的1.6毫米足部深度最低深度,则可面临最高10 000英镑的罚款和12个罚款点。 UK drivers could face fines up to £10,000 and 12 penalty points if their tyres fall below the legal 1.6mm tread depth minimum, according to RAC Drive. 低于限额的每个轮胎可处以2 500英镑的罚款和三个罚款点,四个有缺陷的轮胎最高可处以罚款。 Each tyre below the limit may incur a £2,500 fine and three penalty points, with four defective tyres triggering the maximum penalty. 旧轮胎会增加停留距离,减少控制,特别是在湿润条件下,从而增加事故风险。 Worn tyres increase stopping distances and reduce grip, especially in wet conditions, raising accident risks. RAC建议使用20p试验——将一枚硬币插入胎面槽——作为简单的检查;如果外带可见,胎面可能太低。 The RAC recommends using the 20p test—inserting a coin into the tread grooves—as a simple check; if the outer band is visible, the tread may be too low. 司机应每两周并在长途旅行前对轮胎进行检查,因为非法轮胎也可使保险索赔无效。 Drivers should inspect tyres every two weeks and before long trips, as illegal tyres can also void insurance claims.
