It's after a ten year old front tyre burst on the fast lane of a motorway for a mother travelling home on the M7.
A Laois tyre shop owner is urging motorists to check their tyres at least once a month.
This follows an incident in which a mother was travelling home to Dublin on the M7 with her two young children when her front tyre burst in the fast lane.
The tyre was almost ten years old.
Niall Kennedy of Niall’s Tyres 24/7 Breakdown Service in Abbeyleix says the woman was not at fault, as she had her car regularly serviced.
He says it's vital for drivers to perform checks on a regular basis:
