Police took a picture of the best front tyre out of the two and put it on Twitter.

Lancs Road Police said on Twitter: “The driver was reported and can expect points on their licence and a fine coming soon.”

Motorists risk a £2,500 fine and three penalty points if they drive with a worn tyre.

Motorists should make regular checks on their tyres to ensure tread depths and pressures are correct.
