How to Rescue When a Car Has a Flat Tire on the Road?
2 Answers
First, pull over to the side of the road when your car has a flat tire, then turn on the hazard lights and place warning signs in front of and behind the vehicle. If there is a spare tire in the car, you can change it yourself; if there is no spare tire, you can call for insurance towing or a spare tire replacement service.
I've experienced tire blowouts quite a few times. The first thing to do is to pull over safely, turn on the hazard lights, and then retrieve the warning triangle from the trunk, placing it about 50 meters behind the car to alert other drivers. If I can change the spare tire myself, I check the spare tire's pressure first, then use the jack to locate the proper support point under the car and slowly lift the vehicle. Before replacing the tire, loosen the lug nuts, being careful not to let the wheel roll. After changing the tire, tighten the lug nuts and pack up the tools. Having someone assist during the process is helpful, but remember that uneven tire wear is a common cause of blowouts—regularly checking the tread depth can prevent trouble. Spare tires have speed limitations, usually below 80 km/h, so after driving a short distance, head to a repair shop to replace it with a new tire. Safe driving starts with prevention, and regular tire maintenance is key.
