Abu Dhabi Police have renewed their call for motorists to check their tires, releasing a chilling video showing how worn-out tires can lead to catastrophic accidents on the road.
The footage, shared as part of the force’s “Safe Summer” and “Summer Without Accidents” initiatives, depicts three separate high-speed crashes — all caused by tire bursts. The campaign was created in partnership with the Monitoring and Control Center under the “Your Comment” initiative.
In one alarming clip, a car traveling in the fast lane suddenly veers across the highway after a right-side tire explodes, flipping violently. Another shows a vehicle losing control and slamming into a barrier after a similar failure. A third incident features a recovery truck that crashes head-on into the roadside fence after its tire gives out.
The Traffic and Patrols Directorate stressed that tire safety should be a priority — especially during the scorching summer months when the risk of blowouts increases dramatically. Authorities are urging drivers to regularly inspect their tires for cracks, damage, or wear, emphasizing that simple neglect can result in tragedy.
