One of your wheels has collided heavily against a kerb. What should you note?

When your wheel hits a kerb strongly, it can cause damage that is not always immediately visible. The handling of your vehicle may be affected because the impact can damage suspension components or misalign the wheels, making the car harder to steer safely. The tyre itself may also suffer damage, such as internal weakening or a slow puncture, which can reduce safety and lead to tyre failure over time. Because of these risks, it is important to have the vehicle inspected in a garage to ensure that no hidden damage affects driving safety. This thorough check helps prevent accidents caused by compromised vehicle control or tyre problems.
