Yes, that’s certainly what these tyres are!
Earlier this month, officers from Bundaberg Road Policing Unit issued a Traffic Infringement Notice to the driver of a vehicle for an alleged speeding offence.
Consequence: $157 and one demerit point.
A vehicle check was also conducted where the driver received a Traffic Infringement Notice for drive/park vehicle if parts/equipment not in safe condition. The four tyres were all worn out, with images of two tyres displayed.
Consequence: $235 and three demerit points.
Fatigue is one component of our Fatal 5 messages, which generally relates to driver fatigue or tiredness. As a driver, remember to check the vehicle you drive to ensure it is safe and ready for the road, instead of being tired and unsafe.
