This may explain why I've published 1,000+ posts in under 5 years but it would be remiss of me not to use this platform to share something I felt was important [especially when I did the animation below ;) ]. It's Tyre Safety Month in the UK [but you can 'play' along in other countries too] and the main headline is that there were 80,000+ tyre related incidents on England's motorways over the last two years and many of those could have been prevented by a very simple '20p tyre check'.


I know this isn't hobby related, or even a particularly exciting and 'sexy' topic but if you're interested please look at tyresafes website, share the message with your friends, or at the least check your own tyres before the Winter weather hits.


Actually saying tyres aren't exciting, I bet this guy wished he'd checked his tyres...
