Yesterday me n will went to bradford to visit a few audio shops for oxygen, we were 100 yards from the first shop in dewsbery when i got pulled, for tints. just before they did the test on the windows one of them started looking around the car and checking tyres 
as most of you know i'm waiting for my 18's, should have been here like tuesday so i've been putting off buying new tyres for the 17's when i'm just selling them.
windows got tested, 21.9%, oops.
was told to put front wheels on full lock so they could look at the threadbare inside edges of the tyres  oops
then i had to sit in the police car for like 40 mins while they went round and checked almost everything on my car, missed a few things tho  haha
ended up with a prohibitation notice, saying i had to go straight to kwik fit for 2 new tyres and then drive home with windows down.
never got a fine or points slip, but not sure if that will come later.
so we proceeded to the ice shops and drove home, with bald tyres and windows up
any idea if i will get points and a fine? thougth they were issued on the spot?

if they aint issued on the spot its unusual for you to be prosecuted BUT they have to prosecute within 14 days off the offence iirc
fingers crossed mate, your very lucky cos could have walked away with 9 points there

dont think they can do anything unless they get you again for the same thing, my tints were only 21% so ours were bout the same, i also got exact series of tests
