Die TUNE IT! SAFE! initiative was founded in 2005 to show that attractive, creative tuning by no means has to conflict with legal requirements. The virtual expert Mr. Safe T. is available on the homepage round the clock to provide expert advice on the subject of safe tuning. Full details are available online at www.tune-it-safe.de and www.facebook.com/tune.it.safe.

The initiative is sponsored by the BMVI (Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure), Hankook Tyres Germany, the VDAT (Association of Automobile Tuners), the ADAC and the AvD (German automobile clubs), the BRV (German tyre retailer and vulcanisation trade association), the DVR (German Road Safety Council), DEKRA, the Essen Motor Show, the initiative "Gib acht im Verkehr" ("Take care on the road"), the GTÜ (technical inspection organisation), the KBA (Federal Office of Motor Vehicles), the NRW police, TÜV Rheinland, the DSK (German racing drivers' association), the KÜS (independent vehicle inspection organisation) and the ZDK (German Federation for Motor Trades and Repairs).
