"This image was taken of a bus with a badly worn tyre and excessive body corrosion. Bus was prohibited from going further." The photos show that the the thread on the tyres of the bus were completely worn away, which is illegal. The legal minimum limit for tyre tread depth in Ireland is 1.6mm. This is because, tyre performance, particularly in wet weather gets worse as the tread wears down, and with the weather that we've been having lately, it's surprising those tyres even kept the bus on the road. The second image shows a part of the bus completely rusted, with one part of it completely missing. The Gardaí confirmed that "court proceedings will follow."Clare Roads Policing: Garda Traffic & the RSA stopped a number of school buses today.
