"last need to use your car's spare wheel?

yes but let me ask you this have you tried to undo your wheel nuts?  |

Had to change my tyre in February in the rain on the M6, in the semi darkness, alone. Quick call to my dad- ‘where do you jack the car up?’
I drive away half hour later feeling like absolute super woman  |

I have a company car and when I got my new one it had no spare tyre, jack or wrench. All it had was a tin of puncture repair. When I contacted the powers that be they said that it was down to health and safety and that if I had a puncture I’d have to call the AA. So I told them that due to my health and safety rules I would not be driving the car until I received said spare tyre and accessories. After a long discussion with my boss and the HR department I finially got authorisation to pick up said items at the local garage specific to my car. Makes you wonder who makes up these rules. |

On average, about once every two years. Maybe I'm just unlucky with the amount of builders waste that gets chucked in the streets in this part of the world, but whenever i get a brand new car i can guarantee that I'll get a nail through a type within six months.
Latest car came with no spare tyre, just a can of gunge. Told them to throw a spare in with the purchase price or i wouldn't have it. Three months later, puncture when i was in the middle of nowhere... |

At one of the colleges I work. I used to run a ladies car maintance class. One of the sessions was on how to prepare for a puncture |

"About 12 months ago.
Had a run of bad luck 7/8 yrs ago with several flat tyres... Got my speed down to 13mins for a wheel change."
That's very impressive  |
