Covid-19 Safety
                              at Roadside
  We have reached the end of another turbulent year, and while
  Covid has touched many of us and changed how we live and
  communicate, our priority has always been to make Roadside
  a safe place in which to work and visit. We implemented safety
  measures including our Fever Defense temperature checker
  at the entrance door, hand sanitising stations, face masks and
  clearly marked waiting and queuing areas etc., which were taken
  on board so well by all our customers and staff.

  We will also be implementing regular lateral flow tests in the
  new year for the ongoing safety of staff and their families and
  ultimately our customers. We will be continue to review and
  amend our processes on an ongoing basis.
                                                                    OUR FEVER DEFENSE CHECKER

Tyre safety month
  is every month at
  Roadside!
  Make sure your tyres are safe and ready for
  winter with this quick and easy test

  The 20p Test
  Simply place a 20p coin into the main tread grooves of your tyre.
  If the outer band of the 20p coin is obscured when it is inserted,
  then your tread is above the legal limit. If the outer band of the coin
  is visible, then your tyres may be illegal and unsafe and should be
  checked immediately by a qualified tyre professional.

  When taking the test, remember to check at least three locations
  around each tyre. As the test is so quick and easy, stay safe by
  checking your tyres at least once a month.

  Roadside can test your tyre tread depth for free – just give us a call
  on   02870356999
