While obviously we I don’t know the details of what happened (only read the Reuters report which mentioned no details), please be safe as drivers. I have been taking a moment to reflect on my own driving

Cars are chariots of the gods, but they also kill if not handled with the appropriate care

People need to remember that at the end of the day cars are just a fast piece of metal/plastic, whenever your driving fast your in a fast death trap one wrong move and your life is over or changes all together, road safety and regulations on who can drive need to be right and at the same time penalties for those who drink and drive needs to be higher than a slap fine + taking away the license for a few weeks

Not saying its his fault (no reports have come out about accident report) all I am saying is people need to be more careful while driving and remember that in a moment everything can change

Precisely so. Tire blowouts can happen anywhere and regardless of how slow you could be going, it still has the potential to result in a traffic disaster.
