Hard to believe that this trucker popped his trailer tires, but then, if he was smart, he wouldn't be trying to avoid paying a cheap toll

  1. Maybe I miss something, but for me it seems he is only hitting the curb.

    1. the yellow curb, the sharp edge it has, against the rim with the full weight of that loaded trailer?
      It's a lot of shearing force and every tire is popped by the inevitable pinch and cleave

    2. I guess you're right. By the way: This must be from Russia - or some other ex-soviet territory - as the truck is a Kamaz.

    3. He cleared with is truck but forgot about the trailer and tried to move to the right too soon. That cost him three tires, and it looks like at least two ruined rims as well. Probably a fine as well when the Police got there.
