properly, roadside emergencies can turn into
fatal accidents.

Changing a flat tire- This is one of the most
common roadside emergencies. It could be due to a
leaking valve, a thing that the tire ran over, or
a sudden blowout on the road. It is advised that

engine (which you can very easily tell as you see
