Is it unusual for a company that runs a fleet of vehicles to have them all the same and all replaced at the same time?

You really need a hobby and some friends.

Yes.

I run 8 vehicles of about the same age but each vehicle gets new tyres when they need them and that depends on the way they are driven and the main driver.

What you have posted is crap

So many Facebook comments from idiots asking what the grifters weren’t out.

Put some decent tyres on for winter, learn how to disable driver aids if necessary to get the best traction, and drive to the conditions ffs.  Sometimes that means changing your route to avoid steep hills, or not going out at all for a bit if you can avoid it.

My dog is 4 wheel drive with spikes and he still went on his arse twice yesterday morning!

127 collisions resulting in personal injury in five years

More than £1 million has been spent dealing with collisions on the Mountain Road over the last five years.

The Department of Infrastructure has confirmed there were 127 collisions, resulting in personal injury, between 1 October 2018 and 30 September 2023.

They happened on the Mountain Road between The Hairpin and Johnny Watterson’s Lane.

Seventy-seven were categorised as slight in severity, 45 as serious and five as fatal.

Information released as part of a Freedom of Information response says the estimated costs of handling the collisions was £1,725,380.69.

The DoI says it does not record any vehicle collisions that result in damage only.
