What number to call for a flat tire?
3 Answers
In case of a flat tire, call 122 to report the malfunction and request repairs. You can also call 110. If your vehicle has a flat tire, you can contact the 4S shop or your insurance company to request roadside assistance or a tow truck. Alternatively, you can dial 114 to inquire about nearby repair shops and request assistance. Steps to take after a flat tire: Turn on the hazard lights and place a triangular warning sign 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle to alert oncoming traffic. Only after completing these safety precautions should you call for assistance. Methods for tire maintenance: 1. Increase awareness of tire safety and regularly inspect tires; 2. Periodically correct wheel balance; 3. Regularly rotate tires.
I've been driving for over 20 years and have encountered flat tires several times. The first thing to do is to pull over safely, turn on the hazard lights, and ensure the safety of yourself and others. Then, immediately call the 122 traffic accident hotline—they respond quickly and can dispatch professionals to help change the tire or tow the vehicle. In more urgent situations, like on the highway or at night, calling 110 directly is more reliable. Don’t forget, if your car is insured, the insurance company’s roadside assistance hotline is extremely useful. I keep the number saved in my phone—it connects right away, and they offer 24/7 service, saving both money and hassle. It’s also a good idea to regularly check your spare tire and toolkit as a precaution.
Last time I had a flat tire on the national highway, it scared me half to death. I quickly steadied the steering and coasted to the roadside, turning on the hazard lights. I called the insurance company's rescue hotline, and the customer service was quite professional, asking for my location and vehicle model. Help arrived in less than half an hour. You can also call 122, but I feel having insurance is more convenient since the service is included in the annual fee, covering the costs. Remember to save the number in your phone, don't panic when something happens—safety first. Changing a tire is simple but requires tools; if you're unsure, calling for rescue is more reliable.
