Also, slightly unrelated. I don't think I've ever seen someone on the hard shoulder of the A1(M) changing a spare tyre, but it seems every time I drive to Phoenix I pass about 3 or 4 vehicles jacked up, in both directions, having tyres changed. What do they do to their roads here?!

I think the blown tyres might have something to do with the intense heat here!

On some of our freeways we have enter and exit lanes onto the fast lane. Also hard shoulders on the fast lane....I would hate to be broken down at the side of the road. :scared:
