I'm wondering if there was water flowing across the surface of the road in that area; also bad tyres.
The lancer applies brakes for a split second at around the same time the Vitara loses control

for rights and parts to be for sale it must be fully paid off else is problems with the bank

[ProtonPowder]

i think a baic would be the last candidate to ever be paid off before 7 years

I dont quite think I understand how selling & buying 'rights' is a legal thing. I thought a vehicle is linked directly to the registration plate, if a car right off beyond repair not so both the car and the registration should be retired? But when rights are bought another car may come out the woodwork with plates that were once on another car eg R33 & R34 having the same licence plate.

if anyone bored enough to clarify it would be much appreciated

[elec2020]

idk how true it is but apparently its big business in tnt. Buying and fixing wreck cars. Even when if u sell the rights to the insurer they will do the same thing. I heard that from a few straighteners i know. Idk how true that is. When it comes to legality u right. It doesn't sound legal. But its tnt. Everyone trying to outsmart the other

people were having flat tires like it was running out of style

If so, that hada be in a real tricky spot if it catching so many people one time. Which part of the highway that was tho?

[aaron17]

Need info ^^
Is waze a good pothole detection app? I guess its only who ppl report it.

thats the thing, it was scattered nearly the entire north-south stretch of the Uriah and Solomon Hochoy. About 5-8 sets of people stopped on either side of the median.

I saw that 1-2 were assisted by police , but I find it real strange how much people were changing tyres.

[aaron17]

Hmmmmmm

[elec2020]

i read somewhere that if you leave a car idle for too long it can cause flat spots in the tire as the weight of the car is constantly putting pressure on the same part of the tires. This can cause the tire to lose pressure. Idk if that makes the tire more susceptible

I had to keep resealing the tyres because they kept losing air. Wasn't using car for 2 months.

D jail

My car wasn't in use for 5-6 months after I was in an accident (not in my car) but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary with my tyres over that time or after.

[aaron17]

A car is meant to be moving .

before work from home started last year my psi was 40. When i went and check it after having my vehicle just sit down for like 3 weeks doing nothing it drop to 36 (and my tires were still real new as I got the car from the stealership January 2020). So it could be the increase in flats is due to none usage of cars

[aaron17]

Wait so is either ppl not checking pressure or tyre has a flat area upon sitting for long periods. Both is a no no when driving in potholes.

[viedcht]

Could be all that too.

During this period, I have a schedule every two days to take each vehicle for a small drive/ride around the area...its very important..

I also started servicing by recommended time and not mileage.

Great is the DSS

Was right there when that happened. Silver pickup was headed west come down the shoulder and broke the red light and T-bone the white one going from east to south on the green light. Soldier in the silver vehicle like he was trying to beat the curfew. That happened about 6.30pm
