The government has announced that tyres aged ten years and older will be banned from lorries, buses and coaches following a campaign by a Liverpool woman. Frances Molloy has campaigned for a change in the law after her son was killed in a coach crash.

Tyres that are older than 10 years will be banned from lorries, buses and coaches on roads across the country to boost road safety.  It comes after a long campaign from a mother whose son died on a coach that was fitted with a 19-year-old tyre. 

The family of a teenager who died when a coach crashed on its way back from the Bestival music festival have paid tribute to him
