At Norris Honda we think it is important for drivers in Baltimore to stay safe in a roadside emergency. Changing a flat tire is something most drivers will face at some point. Here are tips for replacing a flat.
The best scenario is to encounter a flat at home, but it is more likely one will happen while you are driving. When a tire goes flat, grip the steering wheel firmly with both hands. Guide your vehicle out of traffic. Try to find an area that is level and firm. Once you have found a spot, shut off the engine and apply the emergency brake.
Use road triangles to mark your vehicle if you have them. Always be aware of what is happening around your vehicle while replacing a flat tire. If you don't feel safe, secure the vehicle and walk to a safe area where you can phone for assistance.
