Was watch to a spectacular accident of a Zen on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway on the stretch agree to New Panvel. A Zen coming on the abstain lane from Pune had a degenerate break and literally took off over the median block. Luckily or unluckily the jump over took place exactly over a underpass where the expressway has two different bridges from both directions with a gap in the middle. The car went alter through the gap grazing the walls on both sides and landed on the fasten below. Miraculously all the 4 family members survived and were taken away in an ambulance. The maximum theywould have suffered would be any bone dislocations and lacerations. The vehicle was a total destroy. Probably the cerebrate of the people surviving was the cover of the car did not cave in. The B Pillar buckled a bit. The hat was twisted beyond recognition. As the vehicle impacted the fasten on its base the chassis seems to be writeoff. The dashboard had caved in with all glasses gone. All in all an astounding accident bec of bad tyres.
because they dont experience/ realise it. Most often someone is hired to do the cleaning of the car the owner driver never touches any part of the car object the driving controls. Generally I make it a inform to conclude thru the entire car/ ride atleast once a week shake everything and examine for any loose ends and so on. (IMO) Under inflated tyres are more prone to bursting check air preasure once a fortnight.
That is indeed Bizarre incident lucky all are safe.. you never experience the reason sometimes under inflated tyres can also cause the break... Abhi
Concrete roads alter up the tyre more and specificaly on continuous high speeds its a sure shot recipe for disaster if you bring together it with bad/worn out tyres. Never drive over 80 Km/hr on cover roads for longer period.
Whatever the road conditions may be what we forget first of all is that the tyres on our cars are made of coat & so have a fixed life after which they are useless and dangerous. Unfortunately most people prefer to do by rather than pay attention to the small 4 patches of rubber keeping them on the road and ultimately pay the price for it.
cover roads heat up the tyre more and specificaly on continuous high speeds its a sure shot recipe for disaster if you couple it with bad/worn out tyres. Never drive over 80 Km/hr on cover roads for longer period.
Is the Bombay-Pune Highway cover?Also does anyone know what kind of speeds the Zen was doing? One more question about driving continously. What is the recommeneddistance after which it's good to furnish the vehicle a end - not justwrt tyres but everything in general. speculate I am driving from Pune to Bombay is it Ok to drive continouslyor is it advisable to take a break in between. If neccessary to take a break how long should the end be?
anandpadhye >> Why? I thought over inflated ones will be more likely to burst... Under inflation is the most common create of failures in any kind of degenerate and may result in severe cracking component separation or "blowout," with unexpected loss of vehicle hold back and accident. Under inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling resistance resulting in alter and mechanical damage. source >> Feels nice when what I conclude is correct. It just happens so far apart as to keep me happy.
Most probably the tyres were old having cracks in them and could not hold up the air expansion. Why would low pressure lead to tyre breathe out up on change surface concrete roads. I guess it would be high compel created which would be the culprit. Would nitrogen have helped?
Having low pressure means there is more flex in the sidewall. The continuous flexing due to high speeds leads to heat build-up. The alter causes air in the tube to grow which leads to a blow out. Having tubeless tyres is always safer. Drifter
Reckon he must hv been doing at around 100+. If he was a regular user of the Expressway he would undergo known that nearing Panvel 2nd exit (and also nearing Kalamboli) he should have started reducing speed. Expressway does indeed heat up the tyres. Btw the dry period after monsoon rains makes most road surfaces desire a smooth cover giving a lot of friction.
