Police stop vehicle in Hastings with 'dangerously' worn tyre
Police stopped a vehicle at Pelham Place on the seafront which has a tyre they described as ‘extremely dangerous’.
A Hastings Police spokesperson said: “Having the cord exposed on a tyre is extremely dangerous and poses a serious risk to both the driver and other road users. “The driver was issued with a Traffic Offence Report, and the vehicle was placed under an immediate PG9 prohibition. This is a formal notice issued by police when a vehicle has safety-critical defects. It means the vehicle is prohibited from being driven on a public road until the faults have been fully repaired and the vehicle is safe to use again. “Regularly checking your tyres is essential don’t take the risk.”
