Using your caravan in May? Make sure you check the tyres

If you own a caravan it is likely that you will be taking to the roads for the first time next month (May, 2013). However, it is important that you take some basic safety checks to ensure a trouble free break.

Do you know when your MOT is due?

Are you a motorist? We are reminding you to check when your MOT test is due and to plan and book the test well in advance, as not having a legitimate MOT certificate may invalidate your car insurance.

An MOT certificate is normally crucial to validate insurance. If you don’t have an MOT certificate you could be uninsured and therefore if you have an accident you would be unable to claim and could possibly face a fine.
