A grieving mother has called for a ban on coach operators using old tyres after a coroner ruled that the failure of a tyre that was nearly 20 years old caused the crash which killed three people, including her 18-year-old son, on their way back from a music festival.
Surrey coroner Richard Travers questioned why it was legal for such old tyres to be used after hearing how driver Colin Daulby battled to control the 52-seat coach on the A3 in Surrey.
As the front nearside tyre blew out the vehicle was sent veering up an embankment, through a fence and into a tree.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
