Sorry but that is not always the case.. Nobody stopped we were parked off the side of the road. We had to resort to locking our car up and walking to a farmhouse a few km away that we had passed to get them to ring for help for us.
Unfortunately not all tyres are worn when they fail
In an very unusual case during my Mum and i were with my brother waiting for the lights to go green waiting to turn right when his right front tyre let go. We heard it "pop". It was a brand new tyre having only been fitted about 20 minutes. He literally crawled around the corner and parked at the kerb as soon as he could., luckily near another branch of the tyre company. It was down on the rim by that time. Fortunately he knew the salesperon at the branch he had it fitted at so they agreed to replace it via stock transfer, have it tested and him pay for it was his fault. There was no scuff marks on it. It was a faulty tyre.
.A friend of ours have a tyre swell up like a balloon. The lady called the RAA and the tyre was changed. As the lady had the receipt with her and the tyre was only a fortnight old she was given a note by the giuy who changed it for her. The car was only driven about 20km a fortnight to do the shopping. Her husband was paid fortnightly. It took quite a long discussion before they agreed to change the tyre or give her a refund. It nearly became a Govt. dept report to get justice for the customer. Needless to say they never bought that brand of tyre again.
