Girlfriend had to rent a van for a work trip, on the way back they had a blow out.
The police came to take a look at the vehicle and condemned all the tyres as unroadworthy\very dangerous...
1.Girlfriend could of been killed
2.Another motorist/pedestrian could of been killed
3.Girlfriend could of been prosecuted for driving unroadworthy vehicle

Anything I can do apart from give this company fecking abuse...

Hello

More interesting I believe that your girlfriend is liable for prosecution should the Police wish for driving a car not in road-worthy condition.
