简单的20p硬币检查可能会阻止驾驶员获得£10K罚款

RAC与慈善机构Tyresafe进行的研究发现，驾驶员正处于可避免的道路碰撞和高额罚款的风险

Drivers are being urged to carry out a simple 20p check on their tyres to avoid hefty fines and putting themselves at risk of road collisions.

敦促驾驶员对自己的轮胎进行简单的20便士检查，以避免罚款，并使自己处于道路碰撞的风险。

Research conducted by the RAC with charity TyreSafe has found drivers are putting themselves at risk of avoidable road collisions and hefty fines by not regularly checking the condition of their tyres and not knowing when a tyre becomes illegal and unsafe.

RAC与慈善机构Tyresafe进行的研究发现，驾驶员不定期检查其轮胎状况，并且不知道轮胎何时变得非法且不安全，从而使自己处于可避免的道路碰撞和罚款的风险。

The RAC says that only 39 percent of drivers know that the minimum tyre tread allowed by law is 1.6mm, meaning a majority 61 percent may be driving on one or more dangerous, illegal tyres which would put them at risk of being given three penalty points and fined £2,500 - per tyre.

RAC说，只有39％的驾驶员知道法律允许的最低轮胎胎面为1.6mm，这意味着大多数人可能会以一个或多个危险的非法胎儿驾驶，这会使他们处于三个惩罚点的危险中并罚款2500英镑 - 每轮胎。

Now RAC road safety spokesperson Rod Dennis has encouraged drivers "to start 2025 on the right note" and get into the habit of checking their tyres at least once a month, and recommended a tip using a 20p coin which could let you know whether your tyres are safe or not.

现在，RAC Road安全发言人Rod Dennis鼓励驾驶员“从合适的笔记开始2025年”，并习惯于每月至少检查一次轮胎，并建议使用20p硬币提示一份小费是否安全。在这里注册我们的每日新闻通讯。

He said: “Driving on tyres that aren’t sufficiently inflated is incredibly dangerous because tyres are the only connection between a vehicle and the road. The safety risk spikes during the winter when wet and potentially snowy roads mean tyres have to work harder than ever to retain grip.

他说：“驾驶不充分膨胀的轮胎非常危险，因为轮胎是车辆和道路之间的唯一联系。在冬季，潮湿且潜在的白雪皑皑的道路的安全风险尖峰意味着轮胎比以往任何时候都必须更加努力以保持握力。

“The latest official data shows 185 people were killed or seriously injured as a direct result of a vehicle having illegal, defective or underinflated tyres in 2023 – an increase of more than a quarter (26%) on the previous year. Add on those serious collisions where drivers have lost control, or where a slippery road has been a factor, and the number runs into the thousands.

“最新的官方数据显示，由于汽车在2023年的非法，有缺陷或充气型轮胎的直接结果，有185人被杀害或严重受伤，上一年增加了四分之一以上（26％）。再加上那些严重的碰撞，驾驶员失去控制，或者是湿滑的道路是一个因素，而且数千人占据了数千。

“Checking tyre tread takes just moments yet doing so has the potential to save lives on the roads. We’re encouraging every driver to start 2025 on the right note and get into the habit of doing so as often as possible, and at least once a month. Tyre tread depth gauges are cheap and easy to use, but an even lower cost alternative is to take a 20p piece and place it into the main grooves of each tyre in several different places. If the outer band of the coin is visible, then there’s a very good chance the tyres are unsafe, illegal or both, and it’s time to get them checked them out. Having your car serviced by an RAC mobile mechanic would also ensure any tyre issues were picked up.

“检查轮胎胎面只需要片刻，但这样做有可能挽救道路上的生命。我们鼓励每个驾驶员从正确的音符开始2025年，并养成尽可能多的习惯，并且每月至少一次。轮胎胎面深度量规便宜且易于使用，但价格较低的替代方法是将20便士放入每个轮胎的主要凹槽中，在几个不同的地方。如果硬币的外带是可见的，那么轮胎很有可能是不安全的，非法的或两者兼而有之了，现在是时候让它们签出它们了。通过RAC移动机械师为您的汽车服务也将确保提出任何轮胎问题。

“Ensuring tyres are inflated to the correct pressures is just as important as checking the tread. Those pumped up too much can cause tread in the centre of tyres to wear down faster, while those underinflated is likely to lead to uneven wear around the edges. Always check the vehicle handbook for the right pressures based on the load being carried in the vehicle.

“确保轮胎被夸大到正确的压力与检查胎面一样重要。那些被抽得太多的人会导致轮胎中心的胎面更快地磨损，而被充气不足的人则可能导致边缘周围的磨损不均匀。始终根据车辆中的负载检查车辆手册是否正确的压力。

“It’s worth remembering these are often also printed on a sticker either on the inside of the driver’s door, in the fuel filler cap, or next to an electric vehicle’s charging socket and can vary between front and back, and vary when carrying lighter or heavier loads.”

“值得记住的是，这些通常也被印在驾驶员门内，燃油盖盖或旁边的电动汽车的充电插座的贴纸上，并且在较轻或较重时会有所不同，并且在前后有所不同负载。”
