I have just moved and dont really want to upset people but the condition of this car really does take the piss.

I am not going to make sweeping stating about their race or creed but dam, take a a look

Possible all 4 tyres illegal, front are right down to 1mm-1.65

rears are just shocking with cord showing.

Also notice the back end is low and there is no weight in the back.

They parked it at the end of my drive hence why I noticed.

Dont what to do missus wants me to keep quiet but they drive it like this.

When you next see your neighbours, punch them in the sponge.

Why even put this sentence in at all?
What possible relevance does this have ?

How long have you lived there?

Just tell them, they might not realise. I've met people who could drive around with a tyre completely missing, sparks spewing from under the car and not realise.

Put a note on saying "Hello, did you know that your tyres are all illegal. I just thought you should know as they could be dangerous.".

Then bugger off, mind your own business and stop being racist.

Just moved in and you've photographed apparent defects on a neighbour's car, posted the photos on the internet and commented about their race - you're going to be a joy to live next to, aren't you?

None of your business OP. When you catch a bus or taxi do you go around checking tyres, lights etc esp if the driver is dark skinned ?

FFS get a life OP.

PS Be careful the neighbour might be a member on here !

A lot of people drive around with bald tyres and genuinely don't realise. That's not an excuse in any way as it's basic maintenance, but they seem to be negligent through ignorance or laziness, rather than deliberately flouting the law. Maybe leave a note to let them know they have bald tyres. Nothing aggro, just a polite note, see if that does the trick. At least then they're made aware.

It's either that or introduce yourself "Hi, I'm Terrence and live next door. By the way, you've got 4 bald tyres and collapsed suspension" kind of thing.

I noticed a car in our flat's shared car park with two bald front tyres. No idea who it belonged to and couldn't be arsed tracing them down. Left them friendly note on the windscreen reminding them it's 3 points per tyre if they were stopped. They were changed a few days later - everyone's happy!

I would echo what others have said - certainly if you've only just moved and want to get on with your neighbours.

In fairness, if they only use it to potter down the shops, and with it being summer (and hopefully dry roads), it shouldn't be too dangerous.

I'm not for one second condoning driving a car in that condition, but I'd try to handle it maybe in a couple of weeks - once you've had a chance to have a chat/get to know them, and then try something along the lines of "Have you noticed....?"

I would report it to the bib in a heartbeat, what if the car hits YOUR child / Wife / Car / ect etc as it cant stop in the wet? is there not a 101 number or the like? if not take the pics to the local cop shop.

But Report it Asap before it rains.
