Back on the Road post-Covid-19

As lockdown begins to ease and we start getting back on the road remember to take time to encourage drivers to carry out a full vehicle safety check: lights, levels, and tyres before they start to cover the miles.

As lockdown begins to ease and we start getting back on the road remember to take time to encourage drivers to carry out a full vehicle safety check: lights, levels, and tyres before they start to cover the miles.

Drivers may have been overlooking servicing and MOTs due to working from home, offices being closed and working routines changing due to Covid. With lockdown now being eased and we all get back on the roads we are reminding drivers and employers to visit a dealer and get their vehicles serviced.

Please remember to check tyres before heading out on the road, even if the vehicle does not belong to you, if you are stopped with tyres in poor condition, it is the driver who risks a fine of £2,500 and three penalty points on their licence and that is per tyre.

Make sure you check the tread and for punctures, we know they never happen where and when you want them to which is why Activa drivers can use any high street fast fit tyre centre for tyre supply. We do not insist on supplier restrictions so drivers can always use their nearest or most convenient location depending on their tyre requirements.

We are encouraging all our customers who rent a vehicle to download our vehicle inspection app which enables them to carry out their own personal vehicle condition check at the beginning, during and end of a rental.

If you currently have an Activa car and are not sure when it was last serviced or when it needs servicing or an MOT, please reach out and give our team a call on 01908 288400.
