       I wonder if Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty £100 and the 3
       penalty points is accepted for exceeding the speed limit.
       You could write to Procurator Fiscal saying that the 2 charges
       should not occured as they happened at the same time.
       Defective tyre carries £100 penalty and 3 penalty points. The
       police may have offer the same conditional offer of £100 penalty
       and 3 penalty points for speeding however it is just above the
       COFP threshold.
       Also you could go to a MoT garage and ask the mechanic for a
       report of the condition of tyres.

       That's not how it works.
       In these circumstances both charges would be prosecuted and, if
       convicted on both counts, two convictions would be recorded, two
       endorsements placed on the driver's record, but only one lot of
       penalty points imposed.

       What you agree with is irrelevant, that you didn't know about it
       is also irrelevant, if the tyre was defective the offence was
       committed.
       Otherwise we could all drive around on bald tyres and just say
       we never looked at them and never be convicted.
       Do you have photos of the defect, did you keep the tyre or get
       it inspected?
