Can You Change a Tire on the Highway?
1 Answers
You can change a tire on the highway, but you must place a warning triangle at least 150 meters behind your vehicle and turn on the hazard lights. Precautions for changing a tire on the highway are as follows: Park the car on the emergency lane: When changing a tire, the vehicle should be parked on the emergency lane at the side of the road. If the vehicle is stuck in the middle of a highway lane and cannot be moved, it is best to call for assistance, and all passengers should evacuate to a safe area outside the lane. Place a warning triangle: Whether calling for assistance or changing the tire yourself, and regardless of whether the vehicle is stopped in the middle of the highway or on the emergency lane, a warning triangle must be placed behind the vehicle, and the hazard lights must be turned on. If the vehicle can still be driven, try not to stop in a tunnel or on an overpass, as these locations are extremely dangerous. After changing the spare tire, leave the area as soon as possible and do not linger.
