I worked a night shift earlier this week, drove 30 miles home and when I reached my street, my car alerted a loss of pressure and I realised I had noticed a bit of noise coming from one side a mile or so previous but had assumed it was just rattling coming from some sports equipment we have loose in the boot at the moment. Flat tyre. DH thinks I must have hit a kerb close to home and wouldn’t have made it all the way back with the tyre in that state but it’s a very straightforward drive at 4am, mainly on the motorway with very few stops or narrow parts, the roads were very quiet as you’d expect at that time of the morning with very little other traffic or noise and I think I would definitely have been aware if I’d kerbed it.
There have been ongoing and fairly heated arguments at my work with regards to parking and taxi drivers blocking people in, I haven’t been involved personally but it would be very obvious where I work because I was parked there iyswim. Have I done this damage myself without noticing or is there any possibility it could be malicious? How long could I realistically have driven around for like this, as in could I have done it in the days previously and just not realised? I’m almost certain I did not clip a kerb on my way home that night! New tyre now fitted and drama over but I’m interested in opinions please for my own peace of mind.
