Having just had to put another under inflated tyre down as a 'Minor' why can't DVSA get it through their thick skulls it's fookin dangerous.

Taken from highway code

Your brakes and steering will be adversely affected by under-inflated or over-inflated tyres. Excessive or uneven tyre wear may be caused by faults in the braking or suspension systems, or wheels which are out of alignment. Have these faults corrected as soon as possible.

Other problems.
If your vehicle
pulls to one side when braking, it is most likely to be a brake fault or incorrectly inflated tyres. Consult a garage or mechanic immediately

The beatings will continue until moral improves !
The newness has gone off that bit!!!

You are quite right and it is frustrating. I always inflate them before I send them on their way. This isn't ideal either, because I'm sure most of them don't care to listen when you tell them there has to be a reason it's in that state, and they need to get it checked or it will just go flat again.

	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.

If someone was absolutely desperate to refuse and scratching round for a last ditch reason, they may try to say there was a risk of damage from the under inflated tyre, Although in my opinion it's probably been under inflated for some time and it got to the VTS unscathed, so I would wonder what that tester was actually there for in the first place if he wanted to refuse.

That's probably why you're advised not to test in the rollers with an under inflated tyre. Seriously though, we are all professionals here, how much effort involved in just putting a bit of air in it?. I mean there are always going to be the 'not my jobbers', but hopefully they are few and far between.

I wish I'd of taken a photograph yesterday of the car that came in for two tyres. We watched the driver trying to reverse the car into our front yard of the main road, hitting the council lamp and scraping down the side of the car before a police car stopped in front of the said car and put his blue lights on. There was a lot of scraping noise and initially we thought that was the car on the lamp, but later when we saw the front drivers 80 km'h road wheel, we immediately knew what it was. A wheel with the rim completely ground off and no tyre fitted.

We fitted two tyres to her car. I asked her how far have you driven that car like that, she replied, I'm a dumb blonde, but she looked OK to me

Her driving however is something else. (rofl)

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.
