Flying down the interstate at seventy-five miles per hour, when all of the sudden your vehicle starts shaking and swerving all over your lane. You pull over to the side of the rode and realize your tire has popped and you will need to change it. Changing a flat tire may seem like a simple enough job, but there are some safety tips you need to follow first. Park the vehicle on level ground on the side of the road away from the flow of traffic. Place the vehicle in park or in case of a manual transmission leave it in first gear, set the emergency brake, and take the keys out of the ignition. After you have finished each of these safety procedures you will be ready to change the flat. First, remove the jack, spare tire and the lug wrench. Be sure to remove the spare before jacking the vehicle, especially if the spare is under the vehicle. Secondly, remove the hub cap (if there is one) by popping it off the rim using the flat end of the lug wrench. Thirdly, loosen each lug nut, be sure not to remove the lug nuts completely at this point. If your vehicle is equipped with locking lug nuts, you will be …show more content…
Then raise the tire about two inches off the ground. This will allow enough space to remove the flat and swap it with the spare. Never, under any circumstance, place any part of your body under the vehicle or tire once it has been raised! Now, remove all of the lug nuts. If you have trouble removing a lug nut, spray it with WD-40 and let it sit for a couple minutes. When removing the lug nuts, place them inside the hub cap, this will make them easier to find and put back on. This will help make the job easier. Next remove the flat tire from the working area. Place the flat out of your work space but you can use it to block another tire in order to insure that the car will not be

When the temperature is in the nineties, the black asphalt of the road can reach 150 degrees. This is why most tire blowouts occur during the summer months. Unlike the obvious dangers of winter driving on slippery roads, tire blowouts take motorists by surprise and often result in loss of control of their cars.
Before starting the process I would like to congratulate everyone who is taking on this task instead of bringing their bike to the mechanic – DIY is the best way to do it. While changing a flat tire on your bicycle is the simplest repair, it is also one of the most crucial. Without air in your tire you can go nowhere. To change a flat tire you will need very little equipment. There are two ways to do it - you will need either a new tube or a patch kit, tire levers, a wrench of some kind (crescent wrench, pliers, and sockets all work) a pump, and some ‘elbow grease’ (you can get this grease by putting a bucket under the elbow of someone working hard. They perspire while working the liquid drips of the elbow. The liquid is oily and is later refined into a thin grease). Tire levers are small plastic (so they do not damage the wheel or tube) levers with a hook on one end and scooped wedge on the other. A dull knife or spoon can work instead of levers but it is not suggested. Never go biking without these tools or you might be the unlucky winner of a long walk home.

Richard Petty once said “You’ll got home safe, so drive safe, and stay safe.” Being a racing legend, he is an advocate for safe driving to minimise the cases of road crushes that have been on the rise. He double up as the chairman of the Veterans’ Safe Driving Initiative, the initiative is aimed at guiding the veterans returning from deployment on safe driving tips. It is necessarily important since the infrastructure has changed over time. Another initiative is being run in Minnesota where the teens are guided on the important safe driving tips. Study shows that more crushes are likely to occur in teen driving than veteran driving. It is also evident that young drivers are more likely to cause a crush within six months of passing the driving test and young male are worse than the females in the field.
My basic advice is whenever you make any modification, save the factory original parts. You might want to restore the original condition for trade-in or private sale. Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and those shiny 22 inch wheels might not be what the next owner is looking for.

Road safety is one of the most important aspects of daily living. Our vehicle is our main transportation from one place to another. The number of car and motorcycle accidents seem to be increasing because of the many distractions, the lack of safety measures and judgment to road conditions and weather. Not being cautious increases the chances of not only injuring ourselves but hurting others as well. On the road, you see people talking on their cell phones or texting, eating, putting makeup on, changing the radio station, reading or using your GPS while driving. These are all distractions that endanger drivers, passengers and bystanders safety. Safe driving involves off-road precautionary measures such as making sure tires are properly inflated, testing windshield wipers, getting regular oil changes and tune-ups and adjusting the mirrors. All of these actions can help prevent an accident. Unfortunately, not all of us decide to wear our seat belts when driving or turn signal ligh...
