DEFECTIVE and badly worn car tyres are the focus of a major road safety campaign being carried out by police in Warrington.
The tyre safety initiative will include police roadside checks and will run from September 15 to October 10 across the north west.
Tyre experts from the Tyre Industry Council will be on hand for the checks.
Motorists found to have an illegal tyre could face a £2,500 fine and three penalty points on their licence.
