TWICE UNLUCKY


Can't believe my rotten luck. Was on my way to work when I heard a very familiar sound. My first thought was oh no not again.? I stopped the car and checked my tyre and sure enough, I had a puntured tyre. There as a small spanner sticking out of my tyre. I have seen people whose tyre was puntured by screw driver in the past and I thought it was weird and now I had a spanner in my tyre.
Why do people just throw such stuff on the road?
It is less than a month I had a puntured on the same wheel. I was travelling back to my hometown then . That was why I was familiar with the sound when it occurred again this morning. In my earlier incident my son was driving and he would not let me changed the tyre . He was able to changed it rather quickly as he used to work at a tyre shop before. A frightening thing happen when I had the puntured tyre sent to the shop to patch up and while he was filling the air on the tyre and I was talking to him , it explored. Good thing no one was hurt. I learnt from him there was an incident when someone was hurt when a tyre explored.
What is your bizarre tyre experience?


First incident and my son changed the tyre.


Spanner pierced through the tyre.

  1. I really hope that this won't happen on me while I drive alone. I can't change tyre. I will call my White Knight to help if it is really happened. Just afraid that he is not in town, then I don't know what to do already.

  2. Sheoh yan,

    it won't be that bad if it happen in the day time , but night time will be scary and if the place are deserted and dark. You can always sign up with AAM or some motor rescue company

  3. *touch wood* so far I have not experience this yet. I'm helpless in this skill. If it happened, I would reach for my handphone for SOS - my hubb or my dad :p

    You are so fortunate to have someone to rely on.? What if they are at work?
