Police slam 'outrageous' motorist caught driving without a tyre

Police described a motorist as 'outrageous' after they pulled over a people carrier with no front tyre - and barely a wheel rim - that also had a flat on the back. Traffic cops posted shocking pictures of the light blue Renault people carrier on Twitter.

Images showed the vehicle with no front right tyre, no registration plate and a gaping hole in the bodywork. The back right tyre was also flat.

Police said the vehicle had been seen driving in Nottingham's Ollerton area and reported by "concerned members of the public".

In their post via their Twitter account @NottsRoadsPol, officers from Nottinghamshire Roads Policing Unit said they had no idea how the vehicle had still been able to move.

They said: "This car was seen driving in the Ollerton area and reported to us by concerned members of the public. How it was still moving was quite unbelievable. The car was stopped and prohibited and the driver reported for the offence. Absolutely outrageous. #Prohibited #SaferRoads."
