    When there is a tyre bust never accelerate nor apply brake normally drivers apply brake which causes vehicle to go out of control.

    It all happens in a fraction of seconds. There is absolutely no time to react.
    Best thing to do is don't run on worn out tyres.

    Bad tires cause the accidents in most of the cases. Therefore annual inspection of all the vehicles should be made mandatory by the traffic department.

    Driving with alcohol intake is the main factor for reckless driving. Authorities should punish severely for ssuch rash drivers. Authorities should impliment to check the level of alcohol in driver's body and only permitted for certain level .
