Worn Tyres More Dangerous Than Phone Use

New research reveals that worn tyres pose a greater braking risk than using a mobile phone while driving. A study by Cardiff University, funded by Halfords, shows that legal worn tyres increase stopping distances by 26 metres compared to good tyres. A survey of 2000 drivers found that many lack knowledge about tyre tread depth and replacement, with 31% believing the legal limit should be higher and 53% advocating for stricter penalties on low-grip tyres. Experts emphasize the importance of regular tyre checks for safer roads.
