Here's my thought for the day..
I drive about 60,000 miles a year, most of that on the motorway. In the last couple of years I have seen a huge increase in the number of people with punctures at the side of the road with recovery services (AA/RAC etc) changing the wheel for them. I generally see 1 or 2 people a day with a puncture and its really rare to see anyone changing a wheel themselves.
Now, why should this be the case ? I am absolutely amazed that breakdown organisations would consider helping people with a simple puncture. Ok, I can understand if its a lady who cant undo the wheelnuts (Not being sexist here) but when its a normal fit man who cant be bothered, it beggars belief.
I know there are lots of people who read this newsgroup from other countries, is this the case worldwide or is it a UK problem only ?
