This is 100% correct.

With the lack of public transport infrastructure, and social expectations, more people who don’t have the skill level to be driving, or don’t have the maturity level to be driving, are (ab)using our roads.

Meanwhile, said individuals with low profile tyres are speeding over potholes and suing VicRoads, diverting public funds from public road repairs to private wheel repairs.

Australian ADRs need to be updated to a minimum tyre profile to get these completely impractical vehicles off the roads.
