Government regulates the test.  The answer per the test is call an operator....  just like I said.

Don't put words in my mouth.  I never said anything about legality.  

I love it when people are wrong but are too immature to admit it.

Either way, this horse is dead.  

Heavily implied it was illegal by saying it's government regulation and we are "100% NOT SUPPOSE TO CHANGE A TYRE" Lol.

I was just correcting an inaccurate statement and providing further clarification.

But okay there's absolutely zero issue with this part of the Highway Code...Good to know  

You definitely got defensive tho but it's cool.

You inferred.  I didn't imply anything.  If I wanted to say it was illegal I would have said as such.  

And per the test, and I took it, you are not supposed to change the tire.  The correct answer is call an operator.  I got a 49/50.  The DVSA is a government agency.  Everything I said was 100% accurate.  

No idea why it bothered you two so much.  

I'm not putting words in your mouth, we're fundamentally disagreeing about what words mean.

If someone says it is a government regulation you're not supposed to drink water directly out of a mug, I would interpret that to mean that it's illegal to drink water directly out of a mug. 

I wouldn't consider that person correct if they came out and showed that the government recommends using straws instead, because they're safer or something. 

We're both right and we're both wrong. 

By your definition of "government regulation", you are correct. And by ours, you are wrong.  

We can act like adults and recognize that we're talking about different things. 

Or we can act like children and brag about how smart and awesome we are.  

I asked a genuine question earlier, are you sure the test didn't say "On the motorway".

Because seeing how people casually speak about changing their own tyre in the UK, how Pi's driving friend didn't know, how the Gov Website essentially say you can change the tyre yourself, as long as it's not putting yourself or others in danger (I.E. use common sense where you pullover) then people don't really give a shit, including the Government, Highway Code and UK Drivers.

Dude you absolutely insinuated that it was illegal to charge your own tire, not that it was a recommendation.

In fact, I'm now convinced it said "on the motorway"

Which is exactly what I pointed out, it's illegal to do repairs to your vehicle on the frigging motorway

I don't even know if it's illegal, it's just not recommended at least, on the motorway.

No, no.  That isn't true.  That means I was right.  

And I found that odd.  In the US we change tires on highways all time.  

Not changing a tire on a highway was a foreign concept to me.

I was rather curious, because I've never heard of a place that didn't allow you to change your tires.

I was convinced you were wrong because I found a UK reddit thread about changing tires

Do you think people only ask questions when they're bothered? 

I was curious if there was some kind of misunderstanding on your part or my part, or if there was just something I hadn't heard of before. 

I got bothered when you got weirdly confrontational like 3 posts in.  

And started bragging about how you're an expert.

Despite the fact that I think if I asked 10 people, 9 of them would take "government regulation" to mean it's a law and there are punishments of some kind if you broke it. Despite the fact that's apparently not how you were using the phrase. 

"On a motorway, never attempt to change a wheel yourself. Always use the emergency telephones to call for assistance."
