Im calling AAA and getting out the way of incoming traffic im not trusting the decisions of any of these selfish drivers in a hurry to go nowhere a lot of people are idiot sheep anyway so why would I depend on dumbasses to make the right decisions? these goofs can't even keep their eyes out of their phones for 5 seconds

Me too.

It was on the driver side and the shoulder was only wide as one lane.

I could feel the wind of each car passing by in the slow lane.

One of the most scariest moments in my life.
I was driving through LA one time in the 18 wheeler, heavy traffic, and all of a sudden my steering wheel locked and the truck cut off :merchant:
Some how I managed to get all the way over on the shoulder before the truck slowed down completely. shyt was crazy as hell :wow:

Every time a situation like this happens there’s ALWAYS someone to say “ah shyt we’ll be fine!”
Yup, I had a flat tire a few years ago driving my ex home. I still pulled off the freeway, Ironically it was the same freeway as the one in the OP. I'm not risking my life to protect a rim that most likely won't even get damaged :camby:

I’m not changing a flat if I get one on the freeway...that’s what I pay insurance for

does your city have roadside assistance? like in Atlanta there is a HERO vehicle you can reach by calling 511 and it's free. Good alternative to filing a claim on your insurance and possibly increasing your costs.

I had to change a tire on I85 one time and they pulled up to help. But i guess he thought i was doing just fine and pulled off lol :queen:
Had another one help us out somewhere around San Diego

Folks forget how crazy folks drive out here until they are outside of their car walking across the street or some shyt like this. Most folks ain't good drivers and will kill you. Saw a group of cacs last night almost get hit crossing the street cuz the car didn't slow down and stop with pedestrian signs everywhere.

Well when you're driving with 2 passengers you would expect them to help you out of courtesy

Stop fool. My two passengers would be my wife and kid. Ain't shyt they can do.

If I'm riding with my boys like I have been plenty of times (one if my boys used to street race) and we got a flat. It only take one person to kneel down, break the lugs, Jack up the car, remove the tire. Put on the spare, lower the vehicle and tighten the lugs.

If it's too cold and wet like it has been when we've been stuck in the snow changing a tire, one person falls back in case the tire explodes or the jack slips and the car falls. And if you get too tired or wet or cold you call them in to swap out. You don't all just huddle around the person working with the car. It's fukking dangerous point blank period.

If you don't believe me refer to any auto manual or go to a mechanic shop and watch them work. When they are doing things like lifting up a car with a hydraulic jack or high pressure filling a tire there isn't a dumb ass with his head next to the wheel or the car like " :dwillhuh: is it done yet?"

We have that here too...but me getting a tow truck is counted as a claim, because it’s happened once before...I just got it towed to a store to get a new tire
