Martin Rowlands, chairman of the National Tyre Distributors" Association (NTDA), said: "I am absolutely astonished. People aren"t having their wheels fitted properly, and that"s appalling." He is calling for improvements after we revealed that 85 per cent of technicians we visited didn"t tighten wheel nuts correctly. Rowlands warned the results could have frightening consequences. "People shouldn"t be in our profession if they can"t understand that this is a safety issue," he added.
