Actually Rbs say abt change tyre, this also subjective, if the tyre bolt and nuts are machined locked, you 1 man also cannot loosen. Once I drive Toyota Picnic to ferry the Japanese bosses ( a short contract). Then the tyre pancet near my house. That time got of my friends with me also, we try and try but cannot unlock the tyre.
I older, they younger 20 + only still not strong enough. Bo pian next morning called the rental company, they send tow truck. The ah chek come also say, you deffo cannot unlock the tyre lah, this one machine tighten. 1 min all he took to unlock with the motorised drill.
So if your company fixed the tyres very tightly bo pian must call tow truck also, but must explain why need to.
Once a upon a time, I was very close to my headman. Those days when younger, every week also got taichi, at least 1 month 2 or 3 times got fight.
Then when he become older late 30s and early 40s already, sometimes middle of the night also got ppl call say got taichi. I also advise him, now not young anymore, got children somemore, go and fight maybe got bigger problem, best is call for police. He also do that, unless really have to go down then will go, that also not to fight but to sua. See can settle thru talking not fighting. His sized like hammer one, also got hot temper, but he also know that age catching up.
Another time, 1 of our closest friends, a fellow policeman kena kidnap ( yes kidnap). In Little India, earlier got taichi, he dunno went down the area, suddenly go there kena ambushed and surrounded by 7-8 fellas, they force him into his car go Sim Lim Tower, down there he kena hantam jialat.
Everything over, he come and call us say this happened, we all hot liao want to go find the fellas, roughly know sit where. But he said never mind, he made police report, let police handle first. If really nothing done, then we can take action another day.
In the end, the police did work and arrested the culprits, some kena like 4-5 years plus rotan. So did he and we do the right thing by not getting hot blooded? Of course.
Now after many years, some times, we actually bump into the group, usually individually, they also never do anything, we also never. Why? because they hantam my firend, and the Law hantam them back. The score is 1-1. Best result. If say went that day and hantam them, this taichi will last many months one.
Once you let police take over, in gangster law, that one is settle one, let the police do their thing. No need to be hero.

Changing tyres on a warm day/night is unbelievable....
1 person.... can sometimes take 20-30mins... still have to jack up, ... alignment the replaced tyre so u can screw on....
If u are OTR and the tyre punctured suddenly, my advice is..... drive to the Expressway .. and park on the road shoulder.....
The EMAS will come quickly.... just pay the driver $10-$20 kopi money, he will settle for u in quick time.

Is Emas only for CTE and KPE or all expressway? I remember once my cousin car tyre pancet in CTE, they come and tow to nearest exit - Moulmein, which just 1km from his house, so they tow until there.
It should be for all expressway...

K I will check.
On a lighter note, our oldlee next door ah, very funny 1, half his pots will tio lock. But he also never give up, still bochap and continue to post new threads>
Yes checked, now includes all expressways after the KPE opened, b4 only the CTE tunnels.
If your vehicle breakdown or got problem, after following normal procedures, like parking 1 side, hazard lights etc, call the LTA @ 1800 - Call LTA. They will despatch marshals and tow truck to scene and tow to nearest exit carpark. Sometimes b4 you call, they are aware and will come down on their own.
My relief (back in 2011 mid) have a punctured tyre....
He called me and told me he is near TPE
I told him to drive into TPE (under SengKang East Drive flyover bridge) and call EMAS.....
He called. EMAS told him they already saw him thru the camera installed on expressway and depatched a tow car to him even before he called.
My relief paid the EMAS driver a token for his help....
These kind of guys will be most willing to help you change the tyre if they have the machine etc, and you of course gv a token of appreciation like 20-30 bucks. Everybody leaves feeling better.

But hor we must take note what the TD Minister Mentor say:

It's a must, no 2 ways about it. Whether you're a skinny girl, an old man, etc, no excuse. Must learn to change.
Next door....
Oldlee's thread tio locked again....

Because the Chief Justices of the forum have decided, which posts are relevant and which are not. Like the court throw out evidence gained faultily or wrongly, there also like court, will throw out threads not to their liking!
But never mind la, some ppl find satisfaction with some form of power, even if it's only in the virtual world, not in real life. Real life they cannot exercise power, so any chance to have some, very steam liao!
Like I say to myself when stopping a pedestrian crossing, some ppl very yaya, walk slow, give you 1 kind of look, never mind la give them chance, knn whole life nobody gives a fuck to them, here at least they have some feeling of power or shiokness, because all vehicles have to stop and wait for them.
A moderator is a very high rank in a forum, you know! Especially in such a powerful forum as the Sg TD forum. Everyone come and read, even the big shots from Govt body. Dun play play ar!
speaking of EMAS, the recovery crew will tow the broken-down vehicle to the nearest designated carpark, free of charge.
and also, it is an offence if a vehicle owner refuses to allow his vehicle to be towed away by the recovery crew, even if the owner is waiting for his own tow truck service that has yet to arrive.

But at least not all members support blindly, some got see what is logical, correct and fair.
Finally what you mean by this term ' bluff newbies itchiban, when handling us? I dont get you. Is there a user Itchiban or something?
