Imagine driving down the highway, suddenly hearing a loud pop and realizing that a large bolt had punctured your tire.
Then comes the hassle of stopping your car, calling roadside assistance, and paying for a new set of tires.
Stomper Ian He went through that when his car went through a large bolt along Aviation Park Road on December 16, which ended up puncturing one of his tires.
“I saw an article on Stomp about a man who had to pay $ 500 for a new tire after his motorcycle went through a large bolt. I want to share a similar experience I had,” said Ian.
“I was driving in my Mazda 6 when I heard a loud bang. Then the trip got very bumpy,” Ian said.
“I had to stop my car and ended up asking for roadside assistance to solve this problem with my tire.
“I ended up paying $ 20 for a temporary tire patch, but eventually I will have to replace the flat tire with a new one. It costs between $ 400 and $ 480 for a set of two tires.”
Ian added that he measured the screw with a ruler and saw that it was about 11 cm long.
“This has never happened to me before, but I’m concerned that these large bolts could have fallen off dump trucks or other construction jobs,” he said.
