Wheel failure
Proper Vehicles Involved in a Road Accidentis a question that needs to be examined when dealing with accidents of lane departure, without having clear evidence that can provide an answer to the issue of deviation.
None of those involved in the accidentNeither the driver of the vehicle involved nor the defendant claimed at any stage that a tire failure in their car led to the accident and that led to the accident.
At the same time, the examiner did correctly, when he examined the two vehicles involved in the accident by a tire expert, in order to make sure that there was no tire failure, such a failure that could lead to a deviation of the vehicle.
Two tire opinions were submitted to the court file in relation to each of the vehicles involved:
The first is - With regard to the vehicle involved - Kia - P/55 in which the expert's conclusion is:
"1.  In the car accident case ...  1 tire was received for inspection.
2.  The position of the tire in the car at the time of the accident is front left
...
5.  According to the internal examination of the tire, it can be seen that there is no flour in the tire, as a result of driving in a lack of air.  In addition, there are no external signs on the side that indicate that driving in lack of air, hence the conclusion that the tire and the wheel were damaged at the time of the accident.
....
These findings led me to the conclusion that at the time of the accident there was air in the tire, and there was no mechanical failure in the tire that caused the accident."

The second - With regard to the defendant's vehicle - Mazda - P/56, in which the expert's conclusion is identical:
"1.  In the car accident case ...  1 tire was received for inspection.
2.  The position of the tire in the car at the time of the accident is front left
...
5.  According to the internal examination of the tire, it can be seen that there is no flour in the tire, as a result of driving in a lack of air.  In addition, there are no external signs on the side that indicate that driving in lack of air, hence the conclusion that the tire and the wheel were damaged at the time of the accident.
....
These findings led me to the conclusion that at the time of the accident there was air in the tire, and there was no mechanical failure in the tire that caused the accident."
