Just wondering, there's car that parks near by, and one of the front tyres is clearly half bald, I don't mean a little, I mean the outside if is a racing slick. I can't see the other side as the park the same way round always.

Should I report it, as it would be clearly dangerous, when driven in the wet or snow/ice (and probably in the dry), or am I being a mean git, and should I give them the benefit of the doubt, that they'll get it sorted soon.

Also, if I was to report it, who would you do it to?

Why not stick a helpful note on their windscreen pointing out the bad wear and that it is probably due to bad tracking adjustment.

Politely suggest it's probably very dangerous to drive on, and recommend them a car tyre place.

Then if they do nothing, after a week, report them!!

place a note, directly at the local cop shop desk:!:

If they have a car, they should know it's tyres and drive it knowing its safe to do so, we all do, so why should they be different, they most likely not have tax and insurance too

Tyres in that state would be a MOT failure, MOT failure on the road possible means no insurance

No insurance means family with no recompense if they where to lose a family member due to a accident

maybe check if they are due a tax disc

I have reported a few people via the website for not showing a current tax disc, I pay they should too Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Grass's we may be (support note under windscreen idea) but the problem is the other persons lack on knowledge/interest/responsibilty could cause YOU a loss. Then all of a sudden it takes on a different significance.

How would you feel if you suffered a loss because someone else was driving on defective tyres... this may sound extreme, but it happens everyday.

The note on the windscreen is a bloody good starting point. Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery!

Wouldn't you stop a drunk person stepping in his car? Yes, becouse they would react slower! Does not bald tyres have the same effect?

Put a piece of paper behind the windscreen, but mention a deadline and what you'll do if they do not fix it.

By placing a note on the windscreen could place you in danger

What if, the person saw it was you, then didn't take action on replacing tyres etc

You then report it, they get pulled and fined by the police

then they take it out on your face, or your car to put you out of pocket too

Much easier to inform the local police

I learned this lesson, by pulling up next to a van and friendly informing them they had no brake lights, to be met by a hail of abuse from the driver, I simply informed the police and let them deal with it, mainly due to the abuse, i got a phone call saying they they had contacted the van drivers employer/registered owner.

Considering npinks remark and your observations I agree that you'd better simply contact the police without the note, as they do not seem to care themselves.

That's what was making me nervous, it's small road, and if they saw me, I'm sure they'd know who it was, even they I've never spoken to them.

It's a house with 3 eastern europeans (not that it makes a difference), and I'm not sure how they'd reacte, if the police turned up, after they'd seen me putting a note.

And it's that bald, that I don't think they could have not noticed, I did driving past it, and they walk towards it from that side everyday (and it does seem to be driven everyday as well)

Thanks for the advise, I may be making a phone call tonight

That’s racism and you can be sent to jail or worse for that
In any case if they saw you they might just come and vandalise your Freely one night  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I wonder what would happen if instead of bying new tyres, the buy a FL2?

All Very public spirited of you but........what if it's some scrote who wouldn't think twice about sticking a knife in ya?? (for being a grass)

Plus the coppers probably won't do anything anyway, they have to see them driving it and for 3points & £60 fine for each tyre, what they gonna do... A STAKE OUT? you tax payers would love that i suppose.
