OK who is with me on this one? In my opinion, the Government should make it compulsary for all new drivers to go through a Defensive Driving Course suplimented by the government prior to moving to the next stage of their licence process. With luck this should eliminate some stupid accidents occuring on our roads as of late.

Deaths due to roadside tyre changes: unless the tyre somehow caused the death, then that is evidence that people need to taught to change a wheel safely. Calling out the RAA (in SA) to change a wheel is not a viable solution even if you only drive in the city.

Its not a difficult procedure - its extremely simple but apparently a significant number of people don't know how to do it.

Now changing a bike wheel is rather more complex, especially if you are miles from anywhere and have to repair a puncture. Been there, done that, got the broken nails to prove it :-)
