They're Man's way of replacing God...He's suppose to eliminate the stupid ones...now the auto manufacturers are giving the idiots ways to kill themselves (and unfortunately some of us!) because they're too stupid to fix the original tire...
I say that the cops should slap a BIG Purple/Lime Green sticker on every windshield of any 5hitbox that has any donut on 'em. The next time he sees the sticker and the tire is still on the SB, the officer gets to shoot a "warning shot" into the tire, then one into the driver...
Most sensible folks put the donut on, drive to the tire place and replace the faulty tire...what's wrong with people?
Too poor to fix a tire? Then you probably don't have insurance and you shouldn't be out on the road in the first place...
Another good reason for the officer to put a "warning shot" into the driver!
