Another Motorway Question.

[TWR]

How do you change a flat tyre on a hard shoulder? Only a quiz not a smart @rse question.

[Mick-Talbot]

Did you give a definitive answer to your last motorway question?

[ummmm]

I would phone someone and wait patiently until they arrived.

[alavahalf]

Get someone else to do it ...

[jake-the-peg]

More to the point would you?

Personally I think provided the conditions were good I 'd change an near side tyre. I don't think I'd attempt to change an off side type on a hard shoulder.

Bit of a personal call that though!

[Old_Geezer]

You call the motoring association you pay annual fees to and then sit back and listen to the car radio until they turn up.

[paddywak]

As OG says except except that it is recommended that you don't sit in the car but wait a short way from it clear of the motor way

[jake-the-peg]

sit back and listen to the car radio until they turn up.

I don't think so

you should never stay in the car on the hard shoulder all it takes is a lorry to drift slightly onto the hard shoulder

[Old_Geezer]

One can get struck by lightning if unlucky too.

[boxtops]

not only a lorry, jake....

[Hopkirk]

Which is the most dangerous lane on the motorway?

Statistically it's the hard shoulder apparently.

I cringe when I see people following advice and not staying in the car, but then they stand on the grass a little way in front of it.
If the car is hit, that's where it will go.

Nearside

I'd put on the hi-vis jacket in my glove box and change it.

Offside.

I'd pull the car over until the offside was only just on the tarmac/concrete, put on the hi-vis and change it.

[Mick-Talbot]

I've got a triangle as well as a hi-vis

[TWR]

Did you put on your Blue Peter Badge?

[tamborine]

I carry a battery tyre inflater from Tesco £4.99 or AA

[mccfluff]

well i have a triangle, a hi vis and a rape whistle

but i would call aa and go sit on the bank unless it was cold/raining , in which case switch to near side and take my chances

and hope its not night time on the m6 or i might get accosted by a chintz sofa

[snags]

''rape whistle''

You blow on it and they come running... a bit like the pied piper?

[ChuckFickens]

So what would you do, TWR?

[mccfluff]

i've never blown it...

you try and report back

[snags]

''i've never blown it''

Oh please...

[mccfluff]

:-P
