Wow what a moron. I know I drive too fast but people like this are far more dangerous, his negligence could have easily caused a huge accident.

If peeps get stopped by the police with tyres in this condition is it an instant fine and/or points?

Should get a seperate fine for every illegal tyre IMO.

Did you refuse to put the tube in?

I'm almost certain you have a duty of care in this regard.

You help him out and he then goes off and kills someone, wouldn't you be in the dock for contributory negligence?

If he kills himself he's a twat but the problem is what about his passengers and other road users? We're all at risk from the stupidity of people like this, risking lives for the sake of a few quid, wankers.
