GZ20TT Occasional Poster Location: Melbourne Registered: July 2002	Re: stupid car things you have seen Thu, 21 July 2005 02:10 Just recently, Some guy stopped at the lights a few cars ahead of me. The guy directly behind him gets out and taps on the first car's window. Driver gets out and I see what the problem is. His passenger side rear tyre tread has completely delaminated off the sidewall It was lying, mostly detached on the road. Must have been a retread or something. The driver with no tyre holds his head in his hands for a sec. Then gets back into his car and proceeds to take off through the now-green light. I thought he might be trying to get across the intersection and then pull over from the right lane where he was over to the curb. BUT NO - he really took off and kept going up the street. I stayed well back to watch the fun unfold. (all over the space of a few hundred metres) Firstly the tread came completely off the sidewall and flew apart, showering bits of tread all over the place. Then, lots of smoke as the softer tyre-body rubber was being torn off by the asphalt, then sparks as the steel belts came in contact with the road, then a massive crunch as the sidewalls failed and the wheel itself hit the road - which also launched the wheel cover off the the side where it just missed a few cars. Dunno where he went after that as I was travelling real slow to keep clear and I then got caught at the next set of lights. Madness - When i got through I didn't see his crashed car anywhere - so I don't know how far he got after that. Frankie [Report message to a moderator]
