I Had A Flat Tire On The Side Of A Busy Highway With No Shoulder In A Pouring Rainstorm

By a friend • June 12, 2026

I saw a car pull over and the driver get out and walk back to me.

I had already jacked the car up and was in the process of removing the wheel. The driver of the car was not wearing any rain gear and insisted that he help me change the tire.

At first I refused but he continued to insist and said that his wife had told him to come back and help me. I relented and allowed him to change the tire.

By the time he was finished he was soaking wet.

I walked with him back to his car and discovered that Not only was his wife in the car but his children were there as well. People can be very kind.
