Flap Flap Flap

I'd have to stop someone and ask them to call road service for me. In the meantime, I'd be emptying the boot to retrieve the spare tyre and jack. I can't get down low enough these days to locate the place where the jack slots in but if I could, I could probably manage to change the tyre myself.

Hello, Pikey. I definitely need the big strong helper. I don't do technical on any level. I can start the car (or the camper) and I can point it in the right direction and give it a drink when it needs it. I also know not to put unleaded in either of them, as they run on deisel. Works for me, but then the car is only 5 years old and the camper 2, so they're both pretty reliable. If I was really desperate, I'd call the breakdown people and play the disabled card and say I can't manage on my own. (Actually, I probably can't, even if I knew how to.)

Well, it is to dangerous with fluttering the eyelashes and showing the Leg lol so I will call out the Breakdown Service that I have for free with my Insurance lol as I would not know where to start with a Puncture and I hope I will never get one, it was ok when I lived closer to my Son, he would do it for me or come out to me, but I do not think that he will travel 3 hours to change my Tyre I don't know why not like xxx

I usually call for help (CAA or a friend) and wait. I let CAA handle it or beg and plead for a friend to help me. I used to be a daddy pleaseeeee fix it girl but im learning to get it taken care of myself...daddy cant always be there to fix it.

I'm old enough that fluttering my eyelashes gets me NOTHING but left standing on the side of the road. So,I keep my membership updated with AAA. That way I only stand on the side of the road for 45 minutes...or I can sit in the car & wait patiently while listening to the radio!!!

my hubby usually drives,whenever we get a flat tyre,we do the changing ourselves,thats is ,i need my hubbys help too,i have never tried it alone,maybe i may i can do it but till now i never had the chance.

You've got to be kidding me here!!!! I was taught back in high school how to not only change a flat tire but repair it as well and learned from my dad and bro how to also change my cars fluids/filters. Learned from hubby how to do brakes, mufflers. I taught myself how to change plugs/wires/batteries. I truly believe EVERYONE should learn how to at least change a flat tire. -mumbles about helping so many people, guys included, change out flats-

I have changed them, I have gotten help changing them and for a while I did have AAA and got THEM to change them!

i call road side assistance, and let them handle it, it is part of my insurance coverage, and batting eyes or flagging down a passing motorist now adays could mean trouble for you. I wish I could just change it myself and go on, but I know that usually someone seeing a woman on the side the road they will stop to help which I think is great, if that is their idea to help, sorry but I don't believe that this world is safe anymore to trust anyone to stop and help me.

When I was younger, I would just change it. I could still do that but I would most likely be on a freeway or other busy road and the way people drive nowadays it's very dangerous to change your own tire. If it happened today I would call AAA. One advantage to being a woman used to be that you never had to change a tire. Just take the jack from the trunk (you've already raised your hood to indicate problems) and by that time a nice man has stopped to help you. The feminist movement all but eradicated that kind of chivalry.

id call AAA because anyone that stopped i would be paranoid was going to kill me lol.. if i had to i would flirt my way into help but if i had neither as a choice i guess i would curl up and die since i cant change a tire and i dont even think we have a spare lol

I shall locate the spare wheel and change it. If failed I shall jump like a fIsh on the ground.

I'm definitely an "I need help person". I am a member of the AA, but first I'd call my hubby. I did that once and he told me to sit tight as he was dropping off a passenger in his taxi and then would come out to me. I was at Ludwell, which you probably know, and heading for Shaftesbury. When he arrived and was getting out the jack and the spare, a postie pulled up in his van and asked if he could help. He looked most put out when we thanked him and said it was all under control. Of course, he wasn't to know that the cabby was actually my old man.

I have fixed flat tires before. It isn't that hard. Who is afraid of a little dirt? It washes off. lol

I´m sad to say that I´d be in the call for help category. I really really ought to learn how to change a tyre as I drive pretty remote, unmade roads regularly and my mobile signal isn´t always as good as I´d like. Touch wood, I´ve never had a puncture far from home. The last time I needed tyre help was when I drove into the kerb at the petrol station and exploded one! It went off with a bang which must have alerted everyone in the area to my plight, and to make matters worse I got so flustered with embarrassment that I just about knocked myself out getting back into the van when I didn´t open the door properly! I still blush when I see that attendant on duty!

Hi p1key, I don't drive but if I did and had a flat tyre I would just ring for the AAA, its the safest thing to do for a lone woman, besides I don't have long eyelashes and anyway, thwy wouldn't be able to se me or them, lol. hugs. Tamara xxxx

I think if I fluttered my eyelashes at a passing car I would get a few strange looks, lol. Fortunately I have had to change a fair few wheels in my time so it doesn't bother me if the situation ever rose again. But my advice to anyone who finds themself in that situation and is not capable of doing it themselves is to call for the AA, RAC or the equivelant as unfortunately flagging down a passing car can be too dangerous these days.
