How anyone could have gotten behind the wheel of a car in such condition is beyond us.
Gardaí in Dublin stopped a motorist driving a car with no tax, insurance or NCT and with one of its rear tyres completely worn off.
Pictures of the car in question were posted on Twitter by An Garda Síochána and show the state of the rear tyre, of which only frayed bits of rubber remain.
This is bread and butter to us. Car with no rear tyre stopped by Gardaí in Skerries. Then discovered car has no Insurance/Tax/NCT. Driver is toast now! pic.twitter.com/dmqlQWt8qq

The pictures also show that the insurance, tax and NCT discs are all at least seven months out of date on the car, which was stopped by Gardaí in Skerries in north Dublin.

Gardaí said that the driver was taking a “ridiculous” risk driving a car in such a terrible condition and reminded motorists of the dangers of substandard tyres and of the responsibility of motorists to ensure their vehicles are roadworthy.
All jokes aside, this is extremely dangerous to every1 on the road. The risk the driver took in driving a car with no tyre is ridiculous. Sub-standard tyres reduce road handling & increase breaking distance. Drivers are responsible to make sure car is roadworthy

Stay safe behind the wheel, folks.
