Worst place ever to get stuck for unlucky taxi driver
A taxi driver with bald tyres was left cursing their luck after getting stuck in snow outside a Derbyshire police station.
Officers in Swadlincote were gritting outside the police station, in Civic Way, Swadlincote, when the unlucky taxi driver got into a spot of bother due to the snow on Saturday, January 2.
The good Samaritan cops went over to help the driver, but noticed the car had illegal bald tyres and the cabbie was given a ticket and points on their licence while stuck outside the police station.
Heavy snow arrived in the area late on Saturday afternoon making some roads difficult to navigate.
The driver was unable to move due to the snow as the wheels of the taxi kept spinning forward, said a spokesman.
The taxi driver has now been given three points for each bald tyre on the vehicle, he said.
A spokesman for the South Derbyshire Response Unit said: "Whilst gritting the outside of the police station in the heavy snow a taxi gets stuck, unable to move forward with its wheels spinning.
"Why? Because it has bald tyres.
"Ticket issued, three points per tyre. Should know better."
