Tire deflation is wrong

2022-08-08T11:25:46.754Z


RIGHT OF THE USER - As we revealed recently, an environmental collective has taken to deflating the tires of certain cars in the name of its fight against "polluting, useless and harmful cars". This practice turns out to be as stupid, dangerous as it is illegal.


Contrary to what is said on social networks, "SUV deflators" do not act with impunity and do not benefit from any legal vacuum.

In fact, judges have already handed down convictions of people who have voluntarily rendered a vehicle inoperable after having deflated its tires, regardless of whether this deflation did not create damage (Court of Cassation February 12, 1974, 73- 91.648).

The perpetrator of these acts can in fact be prosecuted on a criminal level for willful damage to property belonging to others from which only slight damage has resulted (art. 635-1 of the Criminal Code), or even for deliberately endangering the life of another (art. 223-1 of the Penal Code).

In fact, driving with a deflated tire can have extremely serious consequences for the driver and his passengers, such as a tire blowout, longer braking distances and more generally a loss of grip or control of the vehicle, which could then cause an accident. .

On the civil level, the author of such a misdeed could also be required to repair and reimburse the consequences of his act (towing costs, compensation for damages in the event of an accident, etc.).

So do not hesitate to file a complaint to help apprehend the author of this incivility who always hides behind a pseudonym.
