Tyres and Tail-end Protection
A DRAFT recommendation, calling r-k upon governments to require every lorry and every trailer with a platform or body overhanging at the rear to be equipped with bumpers or similar devices to take the shock in the event of them being run into from behind, has been put forward by the E.C.E. working party on the construction of vehicles, a functional body of the U.N.'s European inland transport committee. This measure is intended to prevent small vehicles from running under or being trapped beneath the rear of heavy vehicles in the event of collision.
Studying acceptable tyre wear limits, the working party has ruled that any motor vehicle or trailer tyre must display throughout its breadth• and around its entire circumference a pattern whose relief is cleary visible, the depth of the relief being at least 1 mm.
The United Kingdom was among the 15 countries represented at the session in which these decisions were taken.
