Did you know 2\/3 of female drivers have had a flat tire? But, while 82% of men know how to change it out, only 40% of women do? Did you know that 80% of women say they’d call someone to change a flat for them? In fact, the majority of women would rather scrub the toilet, wait in line at the DMV, or do their taxes than change a flat tire! These are all findings from surveys from Bridgestone and I must say “girl power” is sadly lacking in the flat tire department.<\/p>\n

Bridgestone Drive & Learn Event<\/h3>\n

In response to situation such as this,\u00a0the company organizes events throughout the year to educate women drivers on basic knowledge and maintenance of their cars. One such event was held this past summer during BlogHer ’14 and I was able to attend.<\/p>\n

\"Bridgestone<\/p>\n

While the Drive and Learn event primarily focused on the\u00a0new\u00a0line of DriveGuard tires from Bridgestone, we also got some great tips on how to work with jumper cables<\/a>, how to check and maintain proper air pressure in tires, and why information like this is so important. Check this out from mechanic,\u00a0Amber Delp:<\/p>\n
