Weather-Damaged Roads and Potholes
Monsoons and poor maintenance leave Indian roads riddled with potholes and craters. For heavy trucks, these can lead to tyre bursts, axle damage, or loss of control. Sudden potholes on high-speed highways force erratic maneuvers, risking multi-vehicle pileups. Unlike smaller vehicles, trucks cannot quickly avoid or brake for such hazards. The solution lies in timely road maintenance, pothole reporting systems, and use of durable materials in highway construction. Poor roads should never cost human lives.
