Twirl test to boost road safety

Police are now carrying out, safe driver - safe vehicle checks that cover: Tyres, Windscreen, wipers, mirrors, Indicators, Rust and Lights.

The aim is to pay greater attention to the physical condition of vehicles during roadside stops. 

This video shows what officers are now looking for. Originally made for internal training purposes, we've posted it here due to public interest in the new checks.

The Police TWIRL (Tyres, Windscreen, Indicators, Rust and Lights) checks are part of the broader Check your car vehicle safety campaign promoting awareness of vehicle safety and encouraging vehicle owners to take a much more active role in keeping their vehicles safe.
