After a near-miss, 23% of drivers shout, gesture or sound their horn, but just 11% check their tyres. A further 22% do nothing and continue driving. Turn a scare into a safety check. ACT before you REact. Read more: tyresafe.org/about-tyresafe/… #TyreSafe #RoadSafety

Your first reaction after a near miss won't change what just happened. Checking your tyres could help prevent what happens next. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact

Missing a tyre valve cap? It might be small, but it has a job to do. The cap helps keep dirt and moisture away from the valve. When checking your tyre pressures, take a second to make sure every valve has its cap securely fitted too.

Near misses happen in seconds. Preparing for them starts long before you turn the key. Check your tyres before you drive, not after something goes wrong. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact

Helmet on. Gloves on. Ready to ride? Give the bike a few minutes first. Check both tyres for anything picked up on the last journey, look for damage and make sure pressures are correct. A simple pre-ride look can spot something that needs attention before you set off.

You’re riding home. Traffic is flowing and everything feels fine. Then the vehicle in front brakes suddenly. That isn’t the moment to wonder whether your tyres are ready. Poor tyres can increase stopping distances. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact

No vibration. No warning light. Nothing feels different from the driver’s seat. That doesn’t mean your tyres don’t need checking. Pressure loss, tread wear or damage may not announce themselves while you drive. A proper tyre check can reveal what the journey doesn’t.

What do most drivers do after a near miss? 23% shouted, gestured or sounded their horn, while 22% simply carried on driving. Only 11% checked their tyres. Which driver will you be? #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact

You only think about the spare tyre when you need it. That’s exactly the wrong time to discover it’s underinflated or damaged. If your vehicle carries a spare, check its pressure and condition regularly so it’s ready to do its job when called upon.

We've all reacted in the heat of the moment after a near miss. TyreSafe's latest research found 23% of drivers shouted, gestured or sounded their horn, but only 11% checked their tyres. Turn that moment into a safety check. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact

Plenty of tread? That doesn’t automatically mean a tyre is in good condition. Age, cracking and deterioration matter too, particularly on vehicles that cover fewer miles. Look beyond tread depth and check the whole tyre, not just the part touching the road.

That tyre pressure warning light isn’t background decoration. If your TPMS alerts you to a pressure problem, take notice. Check your tyres and investigate why the warning has appeared. Simply resetting the system doesn’t fix the reason it came on.

What happens next? A driver pulls out in front of you. You hit the brakes. If your tyres are illegal or poorly maintained, your vehicle could take longer to stop. That's why checking them matters. #TyreSafetyMonth #ActBeforeYouReact

🚗 TyreSafe is partnering with Mat MacDonald, the West Midlands Road Safety Commissioner and the UK’s first in the role, to strengthen road safety efforts. Remember ACT: Air pressure, Condition and Tread. A few minutes checking your tyres could save lives. Read more: tyresafe.org/about-tyresafe/… #TyreSafety

Passengers in every seat? Boot packed to the top? A heavily loaded car may need different tyre pressures. Before setting off, check the manufacturer’s recommendations for the load you’re carrying and adjust your pressures when required.

You might forget where you parked yesterday, but you'll probably never forget your closest near miss. TyreSafe's latest research found that 38% of UK drivers have experienced one in the past year. Make sure your tyres are ready for the moments you can't predict. #TyreSafetyMonth #ActBeforeYouReact

Near misses don't usually come with a warning. Neither do the effects of illegal or poorly maintained tyres until you need to brake suddenly. Check your tyres today because they could help you stop in time. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact

Being a skilled driver is important, but no amount of experience can compensate for poor tyre condition. Your tyres are the only part of your vehicle in contact with the road, so make checking them part of every journey. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact
