This IRTE Good Practice Guide has been written to explain the responsibilities and systems involved in maintaining tyres, regardless of operating conditions, fleet size or vehicle type.
The procedures and systems explained in this Guide are useful for operators, drivers and all those responsible for operating, maintaining or providing passenger carrying vehicles.
Traffic Commissioners, the Department for Transport and The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency have produced guidelines and this document is designed to be read in conjunction with those recommendations.
This is a guide to good practice and therefore not to be read as a definitive instruction as to how to comply with your legal obligations.
