I have never thought about it before, but for some reason I am supprised by this. It isn't supprising though, considering that in the UK you need to do a risk assessment and wear a high vis jacket just to use the bathroom :P
I can understand why it is in the law but how far would they take it ?
Pressure depends on alot of factors (ambiant temp, tyre temp) and many of the tyre gauges are not calibrated very well - if at all.
In the real world I could only see this being applicable if there are tyre buldges are you are almost running on rims.
