I have a new suggestion, what a surprise, its transport related. People who drive above 25mph with a "Space saver" tyre on, and continue to drive on it for a Month [and counting...]
One of the local drivers to here has a space saver tyre on the front axle, on a front wheel drive, on a car where about 70% of the vehicle weight is over that front axle. So braking and steering and acceleration are now being done on a skinny tyre.... a third of the width of the proper tyre...
I am asking for all space saver tyres to be resigned to room 101, and therefore, if you carry a spare, carry the bloody RIGHT spare, and spare us all the plausibility of an accident happening into our boot when some twonka with a space saver looses it at 45mph on a newly wet road.
