Cyprus authorities have announced inspections of garages and tyre-fitting workshops following another incident in which a wheel detached from a moving vehicle and rolled along a motorway, creating a serious danger for other road users.
This was not an isolated case. Similar incidents have occurred on Cyprus roads before, prompting authorities to tighten controls over the quality of wheel installation and maintenance.
🔧 The Department of Electromechanical Services will inspect garages and tyre shops to ensure they are following all technical safety standards when fitting and securing wheels.
⚠️ Officials stress that a poorly secured wheel is not just a mechanical fault—it can easily lead to a serious or even fatal road accident. The results of the inspections will be made public, and any businesses found violating safety regulations are expected to face appropriate action.
