In a recent ruling by the Bombay high court, New India Assurance Co.\u2019s plea has been rejected over paying compensation to the family of a driver who passed away in a car accident after a tyre burst. The company contended that it was an \u201cact of God\u201d but the high court ruled it as an act of human negligence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Justice Dige stated, \u201c\u2018act of god is an instance of uncontrollable natural forces in operation.\u2019 \u201cIt refers to a severe unanticipated natural event for which no human is responsible. The bursting of a tyre<\/strong> is an act of human negligence. He mentioned that a tyre can burst due to multiple reasons like high speeds, poor tyre maintenance, over-inflated tyres and many more. Therefore, it is necessary for drivers to check the tyre condition before travelling or it could lead to hazardous incidents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Tyre Safety Is Important?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Much emphasis has been laid on tyre safety due to recurring incidents that happen due to tyre bursts, misaligned tyres, or low-quality tyres. A tyre accident can be catastrophic and may cause serious injuries. Tyres are the only point of contact between the vehicle and the road<\/strong>, thus the stability and performance of any vehicle depend heavily on the tyres.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Damaged tyres lead to loss of control while driving as uneven wear and tear may cause issues at high speeds. Tyre safety<\/strong><\/a> is also important because they are an important component in braking. The brake system gets damaged if the tyres are unable to stop at the right time, or they glide in because of poor wear over a period of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Properly inflated tyres are also crucial for improving the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Tyres with improper inflation lead to high rolling resistance, which in turns lead to poor fuel efficiency. It\u2019s dangerous if the fuel tank gets empty on an expressway, which could cause major problems for the driver and the passengers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people forget about the comfort that good tyres can provide. They absorb all the vibrations on poor roads, cause lower noise, and provide cushioning on difficult terrains. In such cases, tyres are more susceptible to bursting than on highways and other roads. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure tyres are in proper condition before driving on damaged roads.<\/span><\/p>\n

With proper tyre safety, the driver and passengers can ensure their safety and avoid any accidents. Tyres play a crucial role in protecting everyone onboard as they are responsible for handling the vehicle in the right manner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
