<p>As part of its enforcement duties, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA)
carries out roadside enforcement checks on buses, coaches, lorries and trailers to
ensure the vehicles are being maintained to roadworthiness standards.</p><p> </p><p>If
the DVSA identifies a vehicle, or trailer, that has a tyre fitted that is over 10
years old, it will conduct a follow up investigation with the operator. If the operator
cannot provide a satisfactory explanation for using an old tyre, or their tyre management
systems are not adequate, then the DVSA will consider referring them to the Office
of the Traffic Commissioner.</p>
