If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a level spot that is well off the road and out of the way of traffic to change the tire.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a busy road is dangerous.

changing a tire:
Changing a tire is dangerous if not

The occupant could cause the vehicle to fall resulting in serious injury. |
NOTE Make sure the jack is well lubricated before using it.

NOTE When blocking a tire, use rocks or wood blocks of sufficient size if possible to hold the tire in place.
