Tyre tread
It’s a legal requirement that each of your tyres has a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm. Driving without the legally required amount of tread can adversely affect your grip, braking distance and steering. If you’re stopped by the police and found with illegal tyres, you could receive a £2,500 fine and 3 penalty points per tyre.

FuelIng
There were more than 7,000 breakdown incidents due to vehicles running out of fuel. Always keep your tank at least one quarter full to avoid running out on your journey. You can be issued a Fixed Penalty Notice in some locations if your breakdown was foreseeable, which includes running out of fuel.

Oil
Maintaining the correct oil level is essential as the oil lubricates, cleans, cools and protects the moving parts of your engine, preventing your engine from seizing up and breaking down.

Tyre pressure
Driving with underinflated or overinflated tyres can adversely affect your braking distance, steering, fuel efficiency and the lifetime of your tyres.


Water levels
To ensure you have good visibility, always keep your screen wash topped up so you can clear any debris or dirt off your windscreen.


Lights
​Your lights are not only essential for you; they’re also essential for other drivers to understand how you’re driving your vehicle and how you intend to manoeuvre.

Tyre Safety Month

10/14/2020

​TyreSafe is asking Britain’s motorists Are your tyres ready for ACTion? as the curtain raises on the October-long Tyre Safety Month campaign.
Every year 170 motorists on average are reported killed or seriously injured due to incidents caused by tyre-related defects, significantly more than the 1481 attributed to driver distractaction by mobile phone use. However, one-in-five drivers have never checked their tyres’ tread – among younger drivers it’s one-in-three2.
Carrying out tyre maintenance not only reduces the risk of an incident, it also can save money. Driving a vehicle with underinflated tyres increases fuel consumption and wear, yet astonishingly research shows as many as 57%3 of tyres driven on Britain’s roads are below the recommended settings. That’s potentially £1billion wasted on fuel each year.
To educate drivers on the importance and benefits of tyre safety, TyreSafe has developed helpful, fun and informative animations based around well-known film titles for this year’s Tyre Safety Month. Are your tyres ready for ACTion? combines TyreSafe’s memory-jogging acronym ACT – Air pressure, Condition and Tread – with titles like The Good, the Bad and the Underinflated; Done in 60 Seconds; and Judge Tread. Each encourages drivers to check at least once a month and before long journeys.
The online and social assets are hoped to provide the inspiration for all age groups to engage with the campaign and add to the ‘TyreFlix Productions’ watchlist. TyreSafe would welcome further suggestions on its Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn channels such as Tyre Story and The Usual Suspects, which have also been previewed in the Are your tyres ready for ACTion? animations.
Stuart Jackson, TyreSafe Chair, said: “The importance of tyre safety is often overlooked but the risks are real, so Tyre Safety Month is the ideal time for motorists to get into the habit of checking their tyres at least once a month and before long journeys. In addition to safety, with money likely to become increasingly tighter for many in 2021, properly maintaining tyres will help keep motoring costs down. Tyre maintenance has never been more important, so ask yourself, Are your tyres ready for ACTion?.”
A range of assets in jpeg format is available by following the Tyre Safety Month campaign links at tyresafe.org. TyreSafe supporters can access print-ready assets via the members’ area. To access this, supporters are asked to complete a registration form which theteam@tyresafe.org will approve. Then they simply use their login details to be able to download the materials, which can be customised with their organisation’s logo.

BTEC 4 Course Aims

​

The Driver Training Industry is changing, and over recent years we have seen a growth in the take up of post-qualification CPD (Continuing Professional/Personal Development). The DVSA encourage CPD and suggest a minimum level of activity to be completed annually by each ADI. 
But is Minimum Good Enough For you?
You are not simply an ADI, you are a business person; in business it's important to maintain a competitive edge. However you determine your personal, business and other life goals, you no doubt want to be successful.
The BTEC Level 4 in Driver Coaching will prepare you for the challenges that lay ahead in both training and business. Whether it's dealing with 'problem' clients, gaining more referral business or being respected for your skill by the DVSA and your local competitors, the thinking and communication skills learned during your BTEC course will help develop your client centred learning (CCL)
If you want more than the minimum - call us on 0800 058 8009
