G'day, fellow road adventurers! So, you’re out on the open road, wind in your hair, tires on the tarmac—except wait, that tarmac has more holes than a roo's memory! The seals on these roads are about as reliable as a rusty ute, and it’s got me thinking: what’s a bushman’s trick to staying safe when dodging potholes, oncoming cars, and the odd wandering wombat? Well, here’s your crash course in Outback Road Survival.
Safety Tip #1: The Pothole Zig-Zag
First off, dodging potholes is an art form. But here's the golden rule: if it’s bigger than your hubcap, swerve (carefully). If you’re playing "chicken" with an oncoming car, it’s best to blink first. There's no heroism in getting two vehicles bogged in a hole deeper than a dingo’s den.
Bushman-Style Tire Change
Now, if you DO cop a flat, don't panic. Bushmen have been changing tires since before the wheel was round! Step 1: find a sturdy stick (because in the bush, that’s your jack). Step 2: Use that stick to lever your car up—no fancy tools needed. Step 3: Replace the tire with the spare, but always make sure you’ve tightened the nuts (with your stick if needed). Easy as a snag on the barbie, right?
