Is it likely to result in a fine if I was to be pulled over by the police? goo.gl/photos/nZbBgDaRynHsiQF96 Thanks

Wouldn't fail it less; it has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply, has ply or cords exposed.
Its the tyre kerbing rib that's damaged, shouldn't effect the structure of the tyre. Pass & advise.

result in a fine; wouldn't think so...

In the second to last picture there seems to be a dark spot where the cut goes deeper. Hard to say if it would be a fail by the picture but it does look quite deep. If it was my tyre I would be getting a new one ASAP. Might even put the spare on if that cut is as deep as it looks.

Going on the photo's there is nothing illegal that I can see. Assuming there are no cords exposed, and there are no cuts over 25 mm or 10% of the sectional area deep enough to reach the cords then it's a pass. The damage, although not pretty to look at, appears to be cosmetic. Plod would be hard pushed to do anything about it.

If I was to agree with you, that would make us both wrong !

	You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

Purely from the photos then pass & advise, but of course in the event of it being presented then I could see it better. With or without glasses, not sure what that was about!

But in my experience the Police don't always work to the same rules we do.

I haven't a clue about the glasses thing either. The police do sometimes use different rules than us for various things. With tyres however although individual officers may give a different opinion than one of us(allegedly) but they are governed by the same regulations as us.
