Anyone else fuming at the Wheel Nut story on Radio 2?
I contacted them and told them if that was one of us we’d get an investigation into driver negligence etc and it’s entirely up to the driver to make sure the wheels are secure, safe etc on his vehicle, especially if they’re about to drive 400 miles there and back!
No I missed it, im not old enough to listen to radio 2 yet and neither are you!!! 
what was it about??
An MP who was doing a 400 mile round trip and when he got there he discovered his car wheels were being held on with nothing but the locking nuts. He said his handling was severely compromised and there was a lot of vibratiosn etc.
his car
Its a rule for one and a rule for the other im afraid Sam

An MP…
A rule for one and … we==ll i dont think there are any rules for MPs is there??
a 400 mile round trip and he did not check his vehicle beforehand … 
To be fair though, how many of us would remove the hubcaps every time we used the car to check the nuts?!

If you lived in Liverpool, you wouldn’t have any hubcaps to worry about

Me too. I was a bit worried, do they issue arrest warrants on daytime radio?

My car has factory fit alloys with a cap over the nuts in the middle and no, I don’t take the caps off to check the nuts every morning before I go to work.
