Along these lines, why do people just leave their disabled car in
traffic with the blinkers going?  You may not be able to push a Caddie
uphill, but a normal person ought to be able to push an ordinary car
over to the side without doing him/herself an injury.  I've done it and
still could if I had to.  
 
But I mostly don't carry a spare because I'd have to leave it loose in
the bed of the truck where it would be a nice gift for anyone passing
by.  Lucky so far, the only tire problem was when half the tread peeled
off on the freeway.  Didn't lose any air and I drove slowly to my
destination, borrowed a car, etc...

I wouldn't hesitate to call the Auto Club if I needed service.  I paid
for the service just like anybody else.  If people are lying in the road
bleeding, the Auto Club is NOT the proper agency to call.
