Your tyres might all look the same, but they don’t necessarily wear the same 🛞

🚦🚲 A few important road rules are changing from 1 October, so it’s worth knowing what’s coming.

Among the changes, drivers will need to leave at least 1.5 metres when passing cyclists and horse riders, and give way to buses pulling out from stops on roads with speed limits of 60km/h or less.
There are also new rules affecting children cycling on footpaths and e-scooters using cycle lanes.
