Truck with missing tyres

A daring side tipper truck was recently filmed moving along an unnamed road in South Africa, shockingly with five tyres missing.

The video, which has gone viral, captures the trucker’s journey on a highway, seemingly indifferent to the glaring unroadworthiness of his vehicle.

The footage reveals a startling sight: all four outer tyres on the right-hand side of the trailer’s four axles are missing, leaving the rims visibly damaged and empty.

Additionally, the right outer tyre on the rear axle of the rig is also absent.

This unusual scenario paints a picture of a truck struggling along, heavily lopsided due to the missing tyres.

The circumstances leading up to this event are unknown.

Speculations are rife that the truck may have run over a sharp object, causing extensive damage to the tyres.

However, the question that has everyone baffled is how the trucker managed to continue driving long enough for all the tyres to come off.

Rhe blatant disregard for road safety this incident highlights is alarming.

Driving a loaded truck in such a condition poses significant risks, not only to the driver but also to other road users.

Authorities have not yet provided a comment on the incident, and it remains to be seen what actions will be taken.

This event has certainly sparked a conversation about road safety standards and the responsibilities of truck drivers on the highways of South Africa.
