A man's been charged with dangerous driving after officers spotted him on the A9 near Perth with a missing tyre.
Police pulled the driver over yesterday, who's been reported to the Procurator Fiscal
Inspector Greg Burns, of Tayside Road Policing Unit, said: “Our officers could not believe it when they saw this vehicle yesterday. This vehicle should not have been driven in the condition it was in.
“The man put himself and other road users at huge risk by driving the car in this condition. He was missing a tyre and it is lucky that no-one was hurt.
“It is a driver's responsibility to ensure that their vehicle is safe to drive and if it’s not, then don’t drive it.”
