Not illegal - looked at in the dark
My son was stopped by the police and given a FPN for what they said was a tyre with insufficent tread...This was purely by looking at the tyre in the dark with a torch,the tyre is i except borderline but could not be clased as illegal without a tyre guage.Am i right on saying that in court they have no evidence to prove the fact
Thanks Your advices will be most appreciated

You would have to cast a doubt on the officers evidence in order to win this matter at court. I would suggest that the only way you could do this would be to take photos and get the tyres inspected at a garage asap. Otherwise the officers will give their evidence at court and will moist likely be believed.
Is you son a new driver? Has he got any points already?

Do not use online letter packs that claim to "Get yourself off a Speeding Ticket - Guaranteed!"
No two cases are the same. You must not mislead the police. A pro forma letter is not necessarily going to be relevant to the cirmcumstances of your case.
The road traffic police have seen them all a thousand times before.

This case represents our toughest battle to date. It was a battle at every stage involving Magistrates, District Judges, Court Clerks, Cps lawyers and Crown Court Judges. The argument was all about whether a road was public or private.
