Driving on a plugged tire is like drinking and driving: there's the right way to do it, and then there's the way everyone does it, until they have to stop doing it that way.
Plugging a Tire | Drinking and Driving |
---|
only a temporary fix and should not be driven on for long | No alcohol should be consumed before driving a car |
most folks will drive on a plugged tire as long as the tire holds air | most folks will drive after drinking as long as they don't feel impaired |
some folks drive tens of thousands of miles on plugged tires | some folks never get arrested for DUI |
some folks have the plugged tire go bad and then come around to the fold | some folks get popped for DUI and then come around to the fold |
either way, most folks that start out on one side of the issue will never come around to the fold until something bad happens that forces them to change their minds on the subject, and all the talk and preaching in the world won't get them to come around any sooner.
