How motorist parents can expose their children to such dangers, by
speeding, is a mystery to me. Is it any wonder that they, and the car
culture as a whole, cares little for the lives of others on our roads?
"Parents were yesterday warned to keep young children properly
restrained in the car after a toddler was thrown 150ft to her death
when the family's BMW crashed while she was on her mother's lap.
Eighteen-month- old Angel Nguyen had been strapped into a child seat
until moments before the accident at 80mph on the M4.
But just after her mother took the child out to feed her, an under-
inflated tyre blew.
Angel's father lost control of the car which mounted a grass bank
before somersaulting back on to the carriageway and ending up on its
roof..."

No, nothing to do with "speeding".
Everything to do with shoddy basic maintenance (underinflated tyre) and
utter stupidity (taking kid out of seat to feed it on the m-way),
combined with probably more than a little bit of distracted driver as his
missus was dragging a screaming sprog past his ear.

How many innocent bystanders were killed, then? The bit you posted
doesn't mention anybody other than the fuckwit's own crotchfruit.
The gene pool is a little clearer.

I wonder how the crash investigators know that the tyre had been
underinflated just before it blew. I have a friend who survived a blowout on
a motorway which resulted in the car (according to witnesses) turning
end-over-end. By some miracle, all the occupants (who were properly strapped
in) escaped with no more than a few bruises and a bloody nose. But the
significant thing in her case is that not ten minutes beforehand they'd
stopped for fuel at a service station and her father had checked the tyre
pressures. So barring a sudden puncture through hitting something in the
road, that was a blowout that wasn't caused by poor maintenance and
underinflation.
It would seem that the moral for feeding babies is to sit in the back with
them and feed them without removing them from their child seat.

It'll be obvious.

With the tyres hot...?
Tyres don't just blow for no reason whatsoever. They're either damaged by
suddenly hitting something (cut marks will be obvious on the carcass of
the tyre, and the debris will be found up the road a bit, together with
corresponding marks on the road) or through under-inflation (the carcass
will be badly heat damaged, the marks on the road will show the cause,
and the sidewalls will almost certainly be worn through long-term
underinflation).

How the fuck does this stuff happen? I survived an 80mph blowout of an
almost brand new tyre (fitted a couple of days before it happened)
because there was completely no drama whatsoever.
