2 In summer, accidents on Expressway will increase rapidly!

During the summer vacation season, Most vehicle failures occur in a year.
Above all, tire bursts (damages) often occur due to insufficient tire pressure and wear.
Be sure to inspect the vehicle and tires before departure as this may lead to a serious accident.
