Because in cities few follow rules of the road, outside cities nobody gives a shit.
They believe if you die it was fate, going to happen anyway so why worry about it.
Nothing to do with the rather effective and thorough tyre repairs.

I bet that takes some wheel weights to stop the wobble. ?

I'm afraid I couldn't watch the complete video... the music drove me (more) crazy after 15 seconds...

There is a new feature now called 'mute' you should see a logo of a speaker with a line through it on your keypad or if using a mobile device turn dow the volume I do agree about they music though but I was captivated with how some people need to make do, we take so much for granted!

In the days I was exporting the "junk" that we in the UK throw out a nice customer in Malta once said "You people in the UK throw things away before they are half worn out".
People in third world countries still have the skills to repair almost anything, including cylinder blocks that have had a leg thrown out of bed. UK garages do not employ mechanics any more, they employ technicians who have no idea of repairing anything.
Sadly we now live in a throw away society and I dread to think where it will all end.
Forty years ago, even setting off on a hundred mile drive was considered an adventure, I drove that far this morning to collect some garden furniture and didn't even check the old trucks oil before I left.
I salute those in third world countries who are still able to make do and mend.

I saw that in Cuba, very humbling and although they have little are all smiling and happy, we have lost it in this country me included, maybe time to step back and reflect on who we really are and what life is all about!

my brother drove for my dad and got sent to newcastle in an old guy that leaked and needed filling every fifty miles ,somewhere on the journey he managed to loose the indian head radiator cap and the old man went mental

 

[mitzimad]

regarding make do and mend the deciding factor is money .with our levels of pay and general affluence mending isnt cost effective 12 hours mending an item equate to a lot of labour costs against the cost of a replacement
looking at the tyre mending most vehicles dont get much over 35mph so they dont need the same levels as us

Do any Pakistani lorry's get on our roads

No, but it's a matter of what you are used to and standards, there could be people over here from over there that see that as absolutely normal and carry on the traditions.

We have been known to mend cracked tractor tyres with the black mastic that sticks van windows in, works well

 

[chaser]

Have you seen the one where they put tyres to the wheel rim by putting petrol in them and towing a match at it the explosion sets them straight on, useually done by women in bare feet, I'll see if I can find it.

 

[mike mcglynn]

The very first Kia car I saw was on the deck of a Russian ship which had just berthed and an old lady crewmember was fettling it up for sale for when they got back to Russia .Very soon afterwards every Russian ship that came in to Liverpool the crews were buying up all The Ladas locally.The berth was also a massive scrap facility and every day the ships crew were raiding it for spares.

This guy is good

Thats about par for the course , easier than a car tyre , the casing weight does a lot of the work for you
Doing a wire armoured tyre is where the fun starts !

How simply wonderful of you to take all that time and trouble to teach me such matters just so I can watch a video you posted.

I assume that you thought I wasn't able to do it before the lesson!

I'll have you know I am not a number... I am a free man...
