Post subject:  Wolverhampton LOs find two defective tyres in one night

Just when I was saying that Liverpool LOs seem to find more defective tyres on Wolverhampton-plated cars than Wolverhampton LOs themselves, the latter have posted two different instances found on just one night - one actually in Liverpool, and the other in Manchester :-o

But, of course, what they post on social media is unlikely to reflect the reality of what's going on, and it's surely safe to assume that Wolverhampton find a lot more stuff like this than they normally post about online.

Unless, perhaps, their spotchecks are always Blackburn-style inspections, and they simply assess the cars for compliance while they're driving by :lol:

I had an inkling that that was a taxi rank sign beside the PHV in Liverpool changing his tyre :-o

Well, I almost guessed right, but if Google is to be believed it's a bizarre-ish one/two car rank at the front of a bus-stop layby, but where the bus shelter is actually at the back of the layby, maybe because of a lack of space on the pavement.

Anyway, it looks like the PHV is in the bus stop area as opposed to on the actual taxi rank space. Boohoo :sad:

But was quite pleased that I managed to work out where it was without too much trouble [-(

Who would have thought that these tyres are attached to vehicles that never attend their council to have their vehicles checked.

And they belong to drivers who have scoured the country looking for the cheapest and quickest way to get licensed.
