Unsecured SUV Rolls Away During DIY Tire Change Attempt
A recent viral video, uploaded on August 6, 2025, from Spain, has captured significant public attention by illustrating a common, yet potentially hazardous, oversight during vehicle maintenance. The footage, shared by the user @mytoolstore.de, depicts a woman attempting to change a flat tire on a black SUV at night. The video shows her successfully removing the damaged tire and preparing to install a replacement. However, a critical safety measure appears to have been neglected; the vehicle was not adequately secured. As a result, the SUV, seemingly positioned on a slight incline, slowly but steadily begins to roll backward. The woman, initially engrossed in her task, is visibly surprised as she realizes the car is moving independently, eventually watching it drift further away. This incident serves as a timely reminder of the paramount importance of adhering to proper safety protocols when undertaking any form of vehicle repair. Automotive experts consistently advise engaging the parking brake, placing the transmission in "park" for automatic vehicles or a low gear for manual ones, and utilizing wheel chocks to prevent unintended movement. While the video does not show any significant damage or personal injury resulting from the rollaway, it effectively highlights how quickly a routine task can escalate into a precarious situation if fundamental precautions are overlooked. The clip, which has garnered over 2,200 views and 26 likes, has sparked online discussions regarding DIY auto repair safety and the common mistakes individuals might make, emphasizing that even experienced individuals can benefit from double-checking safety procedures.
