Nothing particularly noteworthy here in this tweet, and it speaks for itself. But, as usual, would be interesting to know what the other faults necessitating suspension were, and how many cars checked in total (obviously HCs and PHVs).

The dodgy tyre is pretty self-evident, though. But at least the tyre seems to be wearing evenly :lol: :-o

Taxi licensing Op alongside @DerbyCC

Majority of taxis found in good order.
Sadly 5 taxi plates immediately suspended for defects found during checks.
Worst being a tyre measuring 0.5mm tread depth.
Immediate #pg9 prohibitions issued where appropriate.

Derby has cropped up before in news stories and often involving vehicles in a parlous state (holes in the floor etc) It says something about the trade culture there
