Crash Survivor Launches Safety Scheme to Prevent Similar Accidents

A man started a program to help others stay safe. He suffered bad injuries in a motorcycle crash. Stuart Mann broke many bones. His wrists, arm, collarbone, back, and legs were all broken. He will not fully recover from these injuries.

Stuart now directs The Pitstop. It is on Burbank Street in Hartlepool. He launched a safety program there, aiming to prevent similar accidents. He wants to help others avoid his pain and recovery.

The Pitstop offers a free tyre check, and drivers can visit this week. The expert team gives honest advice. They will not pressure people to buy tyres. They focus on community safety.

Stuart says his family uses these roads. He notes many issues are not easily seen. Some problems only appear too late. He wants to check tyres so people are safe.

Government data shows a problem with tyres. In one year, 190 people were hurt or killed because of illegal or bad tyres. Some tyres had low pressure, too. This was a 29% increase from last year.

Research reveals a lack of awareness. Only two in five drivers spot bad tyres. Many people drive on unsafe tyres daily. Stuart wants to help people recognize risks.

Jonathan Brash supports Stuart’s effort. He praised Stuart’s strength and the community spirit. He believes the tyre checks can save lives. Brash urges people to get their tyres checked. He values local solutions for safety.
