A reckless driver was pulled over by police after they were spotted behind the wheel of a car that was missing a tyre.

Police described them as ‘outrageous’ after the people carrier was seen by members of the public with no front tyre – and barely a wheel rim – that also had a flat on the back.

Nottinghamshire Roads Policing Unit posted shocking pictures of the light blue Renault on Twitter.

Images show the vehicle with no front right tyre, no license plate and a gaping hole in the bodywork. The back right tyre is also flat.

Police say the vehicle had been seen driving in Nottingham’s Ollerton area and reported by ‘concerned members of the public’.

Officers said they had no idea how the vehicle had still been able to move.

They said: ‘This car was seen driving in the Ollerton area and reported to us by concerned members of the public.

‘How it was still moving was quite unbelievable. The car was stopped and prohibited and the driver reported for the offence.

‘Absolutely outrageous. Prohibited SaferRoads.’
