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 ?
