| I dont know if the police took photos or not. I went straight away to change the tyre obviously, but that was back in December so I dont know where the tyre is. My cousin called me from the tyre place and said that it needed 3 new ones according to them. He also told me that I would need some other ... |

| Thanks for the advice. The tyre was around 1mm according to the officer, so I dont know if that is considered serious neglect or not, but that was the reading. The other 4 tyres were new 8 weeks previous and the officer mentioned that. I told them I had an MOT and replaced 3 of them as other one see... |

| Yes i believe there was a comment about the tyre on the paperwork. It said that the tyre would need to be changed soon. I was aware of it and was going to change it after christmas. Obviously just wish I had said "stick 4 on it" before the MOT now, but that is hindsight for you. I am a nam... |

| The other one had been borderline. I had an MOT 8 weeks previous. I take it to a garage (a relative) who do a pre-mot on it, fix anything that needs doing and then take it for the test. He called and said that it needed 3 tyres and the other one will need changing in time but no need now (that was o... |
