The IAM Trust has revealed that nearly two-thirds of motorists use filling station air hoses to monitor and inflate their rubber. However, this means the tyres will be warm - and the pressures printed in the owner"s manual are for cold ones.
Hospital parking fees...
Hospital parking fees could soon be axed for in-patients across England, according to the Government.
Despite recent public outrage over revelations that hospitals raked in millions of pounds each year from parking alone, some sites are still cashing in on the practice.
A freedom of information request in July revealed that Harrogate District Hospital in N Yorks netted £1.4million in three years for its parking bays.
But Health Secretary Andy Burnham has promised the practice will be phased out over three years for in-patients, if his party wins the next election.
Critics argue that Burnhamđ€™s pledge amounts to little more than an empty gesture, as it still leaves visitors and out-patients, who are arguably more likely to use the bays, with hefty fees to pay.
Parking charges were scrapped at most hospitals in Wales in March last year.
