I will say you did a very wonderful job because you spoke up if not the driver would have fix the bad tyre and continue the journey just like that without regards for the consequences
Also I believe some of those passengers might be either too timid to talk or simply trying to avoid problems but they also forgot that every human being was born with one life only and if dead occurs one can only accept the results with no questions
But there is a saying that says 'prevention is better than cure" and I strongly agree because it's better to be cautious that to never have the opportunity again
