Hello Ron. Welcome.As a newbe to this forum and not too savvy with protocols, could i ask the Question in relation to the tyres and vehicle , HOW did it ever get past the required MOT each year , and if so surely its the garage that issued such a certificate that should be also held responsible . ron
It's just a matter of opinions really. I think most would be with you in asking how would it pass an MOT. Possibly age of vehicle means no requirement for seat belts. Personally I believe Driver responsibility.
The investigation says he walks free. My opinion is he's got off lightly.
Unfortunately they are not here because of his actions.
