Can I Change a Flat Tire on the Highway by Myself?
1 Answers
It is strongly recommended not to change a tire on the highway without any warning signs or safety measures. The emergency lane on the highway has a width of 2.5 meters, which does not provide sufficient space for changing a spare tire. The typical width of a small car ranges from 1.6 to 1.8 meters, leaving only 90 to 70 centimeters of space for changing the tire even without accounting for extra lateral space. Below is additional information: Precautions for driving on the highway include: checking for potential hazards before getting in the car; staying focused while driving; avoiding fatigue driving; maintaining a safe speed; reporting early and updating late; being cautious when driving at night; and handling a flat tire correctly. According to China's Road Traffic Safety Law, road traffic safety work must adhere to the principles of lawful management and convenience for the public, ensuring orderly and safe road traffic.
