Would they issue a ticket for perrished tyres?

 

[chewitt]

[Craig]

[E11OOT]

correct

 

[joeyt172]

can be points and a hefty fine for every tyre which isnt in a road worthy condition, traffic cops the worse they would rip any one apart with worn tyres mate

And rightly so, no excuse imo. The only point of contact with the road and if they are shagged that is dangerous! Way more so than a lot of speeding offences!

3 points and £60 fine per a tire that has illegal tread.

 

[JCC]

Yes, as said, 3 points for each tyre below the legal limit.

Can a garage sell you a car with 2 perrished tyres or would they have to replace them before they sell it?

 

[joeyt172]

a vehicle from a garage would have to be in a road worthy condition as they have insurance and all that to work along side, how ever you should always check your vehicle over thouroghly befor you leave the forecourt!!

IIRC every car a garage sells has to be roadworthy.

[kevin.s]

[Lee-182]

I will but i want to try and see if i can get the money back from the garage.

3 points and £60 fine per a tire that has illegal tread.

I had my car in at VW the other day and they had a sheet that showed the fines for every tyre, and I'm sure it was a damn sight more than £60.

 

[whatisjustis]

If you fancy a quick fix I've got some tyres with a few thousand miles left in them, going cheap...

 

[joeyt172]

yer the fine per tyre is more like £2000 PER illegal tyre and points for each so cahnces are your loose your licence or have to sell ya motor to be able to pay the fine, well worth forking out for a couple of new wraps!!
KS53MWC - you drove the car away from the forecourt though mate so they could just say youve been abusing the car since you had it mate! your best of taking up the offer of those tyres from whatisjustis bud

Sheet... where's me coat?

 

[Russ_16v]

On the side of the tyre will be a manufacture date, so if it was made in jan 09 you will see a date mark with a line round and the numberas 0109

check the date and see when the tyres were made

 

[jonathanedew]

Kewl thanks for that.

 

[DannyR]
