Have you ever seen big trucks with wheel protrusions made of spikes? Usually constructed of plastic or aluminum, these wheel spikes are frequently added as ornamental accents. Nonetheless, some truck drivers feel that the spikes serve as a visual deterrent to keep cars from getting too close, helping to maintain a safe distance between other vehicles. Despite their frightening appearance, the spikes usually don't go any wider than the truck's tires.
These spikes could, however, present a risk to personal safety. They may intensify the damage to other vehicles in a truck accident or raise the possibility of pedestrian and cyclist injuries. Furthermore, there is worry that by making trucks appear more dangerous on the road, the spikes could encourage drivers to drive more aggressively.
It's essential to comprehend your legal rights if you or a loved one was injured in a truck accident where wheel spikes were a contributing factor. These spikes may have an impact on who is liable for an accident, particularly if they caused personal injury or property damage.
