The reason is the burst tire of the vehicle. Incidents of vehicle tires bursting on important newly constructed expressways and motorways are coming to light these days. In which many people are losing their lives every day. One day the question came to my mind that why most accidents are happening on modern roads of the country? And there is only one way to crash and that too only by tire burst. The highway builders have put such spikes on the road that everyone’s tires burst. Brain stormed so I thought I should figure this out today. So the team gathered to find out. Now listen we invited a friend for the experience and we got into a KIA SUV.
(Note that the real problem is the flat tire)
First we checked the cold tire pressure and adjusted it as per international standards which is 25 psi. All developed country vehicles are maintained at the same air pressure. When people in our country don’t know this or they overinflate tires to save fuel. which is usually 35 to 45 psi. Well let’s move on now. After that we got on the three lane and drove the car. The speed of the vehicle was kept at 120 – 140 kmph. After driving at such a high speed for two hours, we reached near Islamabad. When we stopped and checked the tire pressure again, it was shocking. The tire pressure was now 52 psi. Now the question arises, how did the tire pressure increase so much? So when a thermometer was attached to the tire for this, the temperature of the tire was 92.5 degrees Celsius. The whole mystery has been solved now that the air inside the tires is expanding due to the friction of the tires on the road and the heat generated by the friction of the brakes. The air pressure inside a B2B tire is greatly increased. Since our tires were already inflated to international standards, they were spared from bursting. But tires with higher air pressure (35-45 PSI) or a tire with a cut are more likely to blow. So fix your tire pressure and enjoy a safe ride before heading to the three lanes. I also request the Motorway and Expressway Authority to inform the drivers. So that the highway journey does not become the last journey.
