Prison is the answer, the driver was driving a possible killing machine, when are we going to stop pussy footing around and say it as it is!as a driver you should check your vehicle before use, this tyre had clearly been going bad for some time, just imagine if the tyre had burst and the car swerved across the road into a bunch of school kids walking to school. 3 year driving ban and 12 months prison. driving standards are so low in the uk now, when 30 years ago we were the best in the world, the only way to improve driving safety is very heavy penalties for all drivers who do not obey the rules
