What causes a tyre to blow out?
Smooth and damaged tyres can cause accidents due to the fact that they are most likely to blow out. Did you know that insurance companies can reject accident claims that are caused by unroadworthy tyres?
The law specifies that it is illegal to drive around with unroadworthy tyres that can cause harm to other road users. It also informs us that the tread on tyres must be at least 1mm deep across the tyres entire width.
In the event of a tyre blow out, it’s important to keep calm and know how to handle your vehicle.
- If travelling under 60km/hour, you will be able to have control, so turn on the hazard lights immediately
- Instead of using brakes to stop your vehicle, slowly decrease the pressure that is applied to the accelerator to ensure that the vehicle remains steady
- Once your vehicle comes to a stop, avoid pulling over onto the side of the road – keep hazard lights running. Place the hazard triangle 100 meters behind your car.
For all tryes, a regulatory minimum thread depth of tyres should be 1.00mm
