Roadworthiness
Roadworthiness is the condition of a vehicle meeting all legal safety requirements for use on public roads. Tyre condition is a fundamental element of roadworthiness, covering tread depth, structural integrity, correct size, and appropriate load rating. Operators of commercial vehicles have a legal duty to ensure roadworthiness before every journey.
