Reply To: Kwik-Fit fitter to lose driving license for having bald tyres

[Peter Miles]

Mohammed makes a good point above, though I’m sorry to hear about his other experiences. Lying from the police is inexcusable.
The police seem to take a very different attitude towards tyre wear than the MOT does. For instance I can quite legitimately pass (with an advisory!) a tyre totally bald on both outer edges. But the police don’t seem to see it that way and, frankly, in a lot cases I think their attitude makes more sense! I assume that if it goes to court the tyres in question can be produced as evidence or is it too late for that now?
