Don’t Try This at Home, Kids

Product News

With tyre price increases putting the bite on some motorists’ budgets, an American man has showed off his own unique way to cut tyre costs by a whole 25 per cent.
West Virginia man David Woods was stopped by police in the town of Beckley after officers observed his aging Oldsmobile speeding “all over the road,” with debris flying off the vehicle. Upon pulling aside for the officers, it became apparent that Woods was driving his vehicle with only three tyres fitted, a metal rim standing in for the absent fourth tyre.
After failing a field sobriety test Woods told police he was en route to an auto parts store to make some much needed purchases when he was pulled over.
