Three months after the APK a driver in Apeldoorn notices that the carcass of his front tyre is visible in one

Question

Three months after the APK a driver in Apeldoorn notices that the carcass of his front tyre is visible in one spot. He thinks: 'My car has just passed its inspection, so I can keep driving like this until the next APK.' Is that true?

Accepted Answer

False — False — you think the tyre requirements only count at the APK. A tyre with a visible carcass fails at any moment, however much tread is left. You may not take a car that can cause danger onto the road, not even just after an APK. (Regeling voertuigen art. 5.2.27 | WVW 1994 art. 5 | VekaBest p.204 (Hoofdstuk 13 §13.1))
