Road Safety Operation in Tyldesley

With the weather taking a turn for the worse, the Atherton Neighbourhood Policing Team, alongside Traffic Officers and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), conducted a joint road safety operation this morning.

During the operation, a number of cars, vans, a couple of skip wagons were stopped and checked. Officers carried out tyre inspections and eyesight tests, while also identifying motorists using mobile phones and failing to wear seatbelts.

As a result of the checks:

As we head into the winter months, we would like to remind all motorists to ensure their vehicle is roadworthy and that they have: ✅ Valid insurance
✅ A current MOT certificate
✅ A full and valid driving licence
✅ Tyres that meet the legal standard and are suitable for the road conditions

Poor weather conditions can significantly increase the risks on our roads. Taking a few moments to ensure your vehicle and documentation are in order could help keep you, your passengers, and other road users safe.

Thank you for helping us keep Tyldesley's roads safe. If you have concerns about road safety issues in your area, please report them to Greater Manchester Police. 🚔🐝

Working together, we can help keep our neighbourhoods safe.
