And why has the author put it in quotes ("new")? The tires in the back look brandnew indeed. Link to post Share on other sites
seajae 16603 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 how did he do this if he was driving at the speed limit, this only happens when you are travelling fairly fast and suffer a blow out. Also dont those tyres seem a bit narrow for a new ranger tyres, has he swapped(sold) the original tyres and stuck "treads" on to make some money, something certainly doesnt add up here Link to post Share on other sites
cornishcarlos 23477 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Doesn't look like a blow out to me... Looks more like he fell asleep and drifted slowly into the central reservation... Blow outs normally cause a bit more erratic action Link to post Share on other sites
trainman34014 16078 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 He has changed his Tyres and they are not the originals; they have a fetish here for 'changing wheels'.

He was driving in dense traffic and far from too fast. All of a sudden he is slowly moving to the right and jumping over the guard rails.

The DLT said months ago that from July they would be illegal, as it is possible to go and register a new vehicle with permanent plates 'in one day' - their words. Link to post Share on other sites

Netease 253 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 If it was the left front tyre blowing even at low speed when he hit the brakes the car would have pulled hard to the right, it looks like he hit the start of the safety barrier which threw the car over. If he didnt hit the brakes the car might have been easier to control Just my thought Link to post Share on other sites

The dashcam video shows a slow drift at moderate speed across the hard shoulder. Looking at the 'blown' drivers side front tire in the photograph, the whole divers side front chassis is pushed back (cross members no longer parallel and tire pushed back against rear of fender). He lost concentration and/or fell asleep, dropped the drivers side front wheel off the blacktop where he hits the first post of the short section of "Armco" barrier. The tire looks deflated but it's hitting the Armco that flipped him. I wager the rim probably has a huge deformation, hence the claimed 'blow out'. There's no way a simple blowout would have flipped the truck at that speed. Link to post Share on other sites

I fell asleep at the wheel in my Dodge pickup, wandered at around 40 mph into a ditch where the front axle hit the top-edge of a 3' concrete drainage culvert, flipping me ass over tit onto some steel stay wires for a utility pole. Boy! Did THAT wake me up???!!! ...and everyone else partying at a nearby municipal BBQ pit. Link to post Share on other sites
pokerface1 706 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Anyone can speed like a maniac however try to regain control of a car at speed is quite a different story. I would say 90% of drivers cannot regain control. Let alone having a tire blow out when your flying down the road. Link to post Share on other sites
