pg9 - power of seizure
Discussion
I dont understand your difficulty in understanding the question.
If a car is tax and insured and gets a pg9 for say a bald tyre and and a blowing exhaust. Are they grounds for seizure? I have been given no other paper work other than the prohibition notice and have no pending prosecutions on the matter. But when reading the pg9 the next day there was no mention of anything related to the seizure of the car or the reason for it.

blues and twos, pulled over.
after breath test, insurance check etc decided to check the car. found the tyre was below legal limits. started writing me up for that when two other coppers turned up. One of them was a traffic officer and offered to give the car a once over.
They found the exhaust system was blowing.
The tyre was low
and the battery wasnt clamped down
and revoked the mot and seized the car.
All work has been done and the car has a fresh mot (Took less than an hour).
Not getting done for the tyre as the copper said it was getting expensive enough with the £150 recovery i had to pay to get it back.
Im just at a loss to why the car was seized. The tyre was worn but the spare was in the boot. I could have changed it at the road side.
Just really strange

Bit of an escalation / change in story from this - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... - unless that's a seperate incident.
There are two types of prohibition - immediate and delayed.
A delayed prohibition will allow the driver to drive to one single place - usually a garage - to have a defect repaired. To have the prohibition lifted, the car will need to pass a full MOT.
An immediate prohibition means that the car is not safe and roadworthy. Officers will not allow the car to be driven any further and recovery is the only option. Again, the car will require a full MOT before the prohibition can be lifted.
So, OP, your car wasn't seized, it was recovered, to protect you and other road users because it was a dangerous shed. Try acting a bit more responsibly.

So lets get this straight... you had a bad tyre on 18th feb... then got done again and your defence is that the spare was in the boot and they should have allowed you to change it.after breath test, insurance check etc decided to check the car. found the tyre was below legal limits. started writing me up for that when two other coppers turned up.

Why did you not change it before getting done?
I think I know the answer, but want to hear why you didn't and are now annoyed that the police didn't allow you to do it.
OP, judging on this thread (and the other thread) i would say OP that you have a caqr that is not looked after properly and when a traffic officer has looked over it you have comprehensively failed the attitude test.
