I was on the freeway this morning going to work and noticed a car pulling to the shoulder about 1/2 mile ahead of me. The car wasn't sitting leveled so I already knew there was a flat tire. Since the car got off to the shoulder I thought the driver knew and was going to stop so I did not slow down. The fvcking idiot pulled blindly back onto the freeway right in front of me. I slammed on the brakes but I was too close to stop in time so I had to swerve onto the shoulder.

I could see that the front left tire was ripped completely off the wheel and the idiot was still trying to drive on it. I looked over as I passed and she was frantically looking around inside with an expression of, "What's going on?". Looking back I could see her car still driving on the right lane about 1/2 mile back.

To have a tire completely ripped off like that she must have been driving on it for awhile. Probably happened way before I first saw it pull to the side. I really don't know how she did not know considering it was a honda that was fwd.
 
I had a rear tire go flat on me quickly once at 50mph. I pulled over immediately but the tire had already tore the sidewall apart and was completely destroyed within that short distance. I didn't ruin the rim fortunately.

Tells most of the story right here...:hmm😱_O
 
getting back in the street was retarded for real.
Some people just can't handle stress...
I mean, it's fine if she wanted to go to the next SOS stop, but stick to the shoulder.
 
i had a blowout of the right rear tire at ~60mph. i could feel something was wrong but it didn't feel serious. i slowed down and pulled over after a few 100 feet - the entire outside of the tire was torn up. changing a tire on soft grass with a jack with a tiny base sucks.
