Ok, just been to the station with my son, but all the traffic officers were out doing traffic stuff!
We did manage to speak to an 'experienced' officer who suggested that we take photographic evidence of the tyre and then take the bike to be checked at our MOT station and as there is no defect, get them to fill out the defect form as if the defect has been rectified and send it off.
He also said that the issuing officer should have made a note of tyre make, model and serial number and measured the tread with a gauge before issuing the ticket. My son is adamant that he did none of these.
I suppose my only concern is that by doing this we acknowledge there was a fault, and even though the ticket was issued incorrectly, that the incident is recorded against his name?
