Funnily enough I was pulled in by the department of transport spot check guys, you know when you go into the layby and they check over the car etc etc,

No adverse comments to make about the car whatsoever, ten days before my MOT

So when last (if ever) did you hear of a driver being given the maximum penalty for an illegal tyre?

Let's all talk about the £2500 penalty for speeding as well...

Or was that post just meant as a bit of hyperbole when you actually meant £100?

Tough.

Also, laugh at any DCA letters that may turn up.

Then lay into them for failing it (or giving the impression it would fail) on a rear windscreen wiper. Non-testable item, so DVSA would be interested if they actually failed it rather than advising (and making clear it was only an advisory) for that.
