So when stopped i'm within a quarter of a mile of my house with the fuel light on. which means when I took the bike out of the garage the evening before for nightshift the tyre was probably legal. rode to work and back then after some kip nipped out to me Bradders.
Talk about Zero Tolerance

Thats just the point ..no discusssion ....zero tolerance is CRAP.. i dont see them enforcing ZERO tolerance on other more serious crime..or is .04mm of the tread of yer tyre classed as a threat to public safety...

i know its a cliche but there has to be more serios issues to be dealing with..???
