A motorist was stopped by Suffolk police officers after arriving in Lowestoft with a disintegrated tyre.
The driver suffered a punctured tyre in Stalham, Norfolk, and rather than stopping continued their journey to the town.
The 35 mile trip resulted in the near-side front tyre completely disintegrating.
The alloy became badly damaged and the wheel even started to split.
Suffolk police said the wheel was likely only a few miles from collapsing, which would have made the car completely uncontrollable.
The driver was issued with a ticket.
