The National Tyre Distributors Association (NTDA) has been awarded the TyreSafe tyre safety award for its contribution to raising awareness of the importance of tyre safety.

The TyreSafe award was presented to NTDA chairman Peter Gaster by chairman of TyreSafe, Rob Beddis.

It rewards the association’s hard work and commitment to keeping Britain’s motorists safe on the roads.

Beddis said: “NTDA members have given their full support to Tyre Safety Month, and have also been rigorous in running their own tyre safety campaigns, notably the recent tyre ageing campaign held in conjunction with the RAC Foundation, which reached out to motorists via TV, radio and press to raise awareness of the dangers of driving on over-aged tyres.”
