Absolutely gutted.  I knew my tyres were fucked and had my car booked in on Friday to get all four tyres replaced.  Got pulled over last night and all four were illegal...

Has anyone else been done for this?  What penalty did you end up getting?  There's a lot of conflicting information on the web.  Anything from 3 points maximum and a £60 fine to 12 points (3 x per tyre) and £2500 penalty per tyre eeek

If you knew your tyres were fucked, why were you waiting to Friday to regain control of your car?

It's not like you cant just drive into quickfit or wherever and they do it on the spot.

With the inclement weather we are having, good tyres are even more important.

Lesson learnt I guess frown

I know, I know.  I'm a stupid cunt.  Hopefully they won't be too harsh on me.  I've never had any points, no speeding, nothing.  Also, I'm getting them replaced today and I have emails showing that I had booked it in to get the work done before I got pulled over.  Hopefully they'll take this into account?

When I wrote off my car when I was 18, they gave me 6 points for driving without due care and attention then they did me for 2 bald tyres too, after they examined it.. I think i got about £50 per tyre fine but no points.

The points were handed to you in consideration of the entire story and offences. For example, dishing out 8 points to you at once aged 18 could have been considered excessive at the time. More than likely Andy is going to be handed some form of penalty as I can't think of many driving offences which wouldn't result in points.

Hopefully you won't receive any points but whatever happens just take it on the chin as it's your first offence and take better care of your motor thumbsupthumbsup

if you were going to get away with it they would have pink slipped you which gives you a week, but its odd they didnt just give you the points there and then its not a thing you goto court for, everytime iv been caught speeding and they havent given me the points or the sheet telling me im in court nothing has come of it

I did something similar when I was 18, wrote car off driving at night (during a storm, weather was attrocious, wasn't speeding but had a blow-out and lost control) and didn't get any points but got a FORMAL CAUTION for driving without due care and attention.

Now I'll struggle to work abroad because it counts as a criminal record in a lot of countries. They didn't even give me any points or fine or anything. Total fucking cunts.

Music Style loads of stuff.

I got pulled doing 93 on the motorway. he checked my tyres and the left front had a worn inside, I didn't know. He asked if the otherside was the same and I said it probably would be then.

 

He only gave me the 3 points fixed penalty and £60 fine to pay down the cop shop which turned into a £290 fine at court as I lost my counterpart and they wouldnt let me pay.

I think your looking at least a £500 - £1000 fine if its in court. I check mine every day almost now, and the missus's car.

its 3 points per tyre but you may get away with 6 points. If you can prove you had the car booked in and had no other option but to drive it they may let you off but you need to act quick.

Apparently, they could've only done it there and then if it was 3 points maximum, i.e. one illegal tyre.

Comes up on an ACPO certificate (the one you need for emigrating / work permits) even though its spent in the UK so for all intents and purposes its permanent.

Well well well, the holier than holy Andy (nigger lover Graves) has been breaking the law, you selfish, idle cunt, rather than sort your car out or use public transport you'd rather risk the safety of innocent people/children by waltzing around in your heap of shit, good on the police I say, I've written to the magistrates court with a print out of this page, showing your admission of guilt, you knew your tyres were fucked but you still drove, that's the same as a pedophile knowing he had a hard on but still going to the playground, you Muslim loving bastard.

Shit it never even occurs to me to check my tyres eeek That's so unlucky but I'd say they'll go easy on you cos you can prove you had it booked in plus it's a first driving offence, yeah the police over here seem to be much more laid back when it comes to things like that...

Dunno about motorbikes or cars but on boarding my cheap flight i noted the pilot testing the thread with a ball point pen and tipping the stewardess with a 10 pence piece.
