1) Correct Answer = C -  We advise you to check your tyre pressures at least once a month and before setting off on holiday.

2) Correct Answer = C - Below a tread depth of 1.6mm, tyres must be changed as your safety is no longer guaranteed and you are breaking the law. For your safety, we strongly advise you to change them before you reach this limit.

3) Correct Answer = B - When driving in wet conditions, braking distances will double compared to driving in normal conditions.

4) Correct Answer = A - Numerous tests have demonstrated that it was easier to control the front axle than the rear. This is why the newest tyres should be fitted at the rear.

So…How did you do?
