Even after you get your drivers license, the learning process is not over. There are many things that you should know as a responsible driver. One of these essential skills is knowing how to change a car tire.
If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of having a flat tire, the first step is to pull over to the side of the road. Make sure the ground is flat, and stable. It is essential that the surface of the ground is level to prevent your car from rolling off. Try to stay away from traffic, and remember to turn your hazard lights on. After you have pulled over, apply the parking brake, and shift the gear lever into the “Park” (P) position, or if you have a manual transmission car, push the clutch in, and shift into first gear, then let the clutch go. This helps the car stay in place.
