A group of Malaysian tourists in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, were riding in a taxi when they suddenly heard an unusual sound from the tyre.
They promptly alerted the driver, but he dismissed their concerns, showing them the vehicle’s system indicating normal tyre conditions.
However, as they continued their journey, the tyre suddenly burst.
Since the driver didn’t know how to change the tyre, the passengers worked together to help replace it.
In return, the driver decided not to charge them for the ride.
A TikTok Tale That’ll Make Your Day
According to a video uploaded to TikTok by @Abata.team, they were returning to their hotel in Dubai when they heard what sounded like a tyre leak and immediately informed the driver.
The driver insisted everything was fine, showing them the vehicle’s system indicating no issues with the tyres.
Shortly after, the taxi’s tyre burst, leaving the driver panicked.
The video shows one of the team members patiently teaching the driver how to change the tyre, helping him through this tense situation.
Adding humour to the situation, one member from Pahang joked with the driver, saying, “Friend, I told you earlier the tyre wasn’t good, but you wouldn’t listen!”
This caused everyone to laugh, including the driver, who joined in the laughter despite not understanding the language.
