Motorist drives for miles without a rear tyre

'Would you drive with a wheel like this?' police asked

A motorist had driven for miles through a seaside town without a tyre, police said.

The woman, in her 80s, was seen driving all the way along the Acle Straight and through Great Yarmouth on Monday, Norfolk Police said.

Officers stopped her after being called by a member of the public who said they had seen her swerving in the road with its rear left wheel rim scraping along the surface with no tyre on it.

The driver was issued with a traffic offence report due to the condition of the vehicle, and the danger it presented to herself and other users of the road, police said on their Facebook page.
