Wisconsin Law Requires Safe Tires: What Drivers Need To Know

If you're planning a road trip up to Wisconsin this summer, then make sure everything on your vehicle is up to code, so you don't get a ticket for this violation.

Wisconsin Driver Busted For Driving On These Illegal Tires

I've been in that situation like most people. I break some sort of law while driving my vehicle, and I end up getting a ticket, which isn't cheap. The majority of the time, the driver knows they're committing a violation, so even though they are not happy about the situation, it's not a surprise. Sometimes, it's not as cut and dry.

According to WFRV We Are Green Bay...

Officers with the Appleton Police Department are reminding drivers of a Wisconsin law that requires vehicle tires to be in safe operating condition following a recent traffic stop.

Some violations that drivers might not be as familiar with involve the vehicle itself. Most people don't know the ins and outs of the driving laws, in particular, the equipment for the actual car itself. For instance, you might not know everything about tires, but there is some common sense when it comes to that stuff.

The police in Appleton recently pulled over a driver for something you don't hear about very often. It was for the tires. Apparently, they were completely bald. You might not be an expert when it comes to car equipment, but I believe most people know that it's against the law to drive like that.

I understand trying to fly under the radar to get by until you have enough money to purchase new tires, but driving on bald ones isn't only against the law. It's very dangerous too.
