harder. Maybe it was.
The worst part was, I didn't have my camera ready for it.

I looked out left rear view window and I could see pieces of my tire
coming off.
I pulled over and looked at the tire. There was no major damage, to
anything but the tire, so I got back in the truck and asked someone on
the CB if it was OK if I drove with a blown out tire. He said it was.
I limped, the truck, on the shoulder of the road about 3 miles to the
next exit. At the top of the exit, there was a cop sitting there. He
told me, it was illegal to drive with a blown out tire, but since I was
trying to get the truck off the road, he said that would be OK.
Used a phone at a business near there and called work. About 2œ hours
later I was back on the road again.
There's no federal law that says you can't drive on a blown tire, butcoming off.

is one if you have a tire with an air leak.
Cite? And most smart people don't drive on a blown tire, st00pid.Some states and local jurisdictions may say it's illegal.
Some cops who don't know any better will tell you it's illegal even though
it's not just to get you to get the tire replaced from their buddy in the
area.

to the trouble to look them up, but I sure as hell wouldn't want some idiot
Mad Max wanna-be driving in front of me on a blown tire. The very concept
is dangerous as Hell. I think it's a safe bet that it's illegal, st00pid.
Since the weight factor applies to the axles, it makes no difference if
there is 3 tires or 4 tires on the axle.
Again, I'm fairly sure you're wrong on this one, too.there is 3 tires or 4 tires on the axle.
My first blowout was on I-95 in a construction zone.
Not knowing any better, I sat there for 4 hours until the tire man showed
up.
So uhm you're too st00pid to know how to change a tire yourself? Or figureNot knowing any better, I sat there for 4 hours until the tire man showed
up.
out the fastest way to get it done?
I've driven 50 miles on a blown tire.
Just how many lives have you put in jeopardy in your "career" as a truckdriver, st00pid? Yeesh.
Kind of depends on how much weight you have if you can drive on it or not.
