Was driving back with my wife from LCCT last Saturday evening. Heard a loud noise when approaching the small roundabout before you join back the main road leading to KLIA/KL/PJ. Thought it was caused by the lorry behind me. However later felt vibration of the wheel. Stopped by the road side (damned dangerous with all the big lorries and buses zooming past you but no choice) and found that the right rear tyre was stuck with a sharp 3 inches slightly bent steel rod
Just imagine if this happen to any lady driver driving alone at night
So quickly replaced with the spare tyre and drove to the petrol station along the highway leading back towards PJ to ensure all the air pressure are uniform.
While driving off after replacing the punctured tyre, just about 1.5 km in front of my car, saw another poor man facing the same predicament and changing the tyre of his car as well at the roadside. Probably kena the same thing as me.
So posting this to warn forumners to be careful when using that stretch. To be fair, this is the first time it happened to me after so many trips to LCCT but what caused me to be suspicious is 2 cars kena at about the same area.

Probably those sharp objects fell off a lorry and onto the road.
Thanks for the head up.

If you were approached by some mechanic to offer help, then something fishing.......

Nobody approached probably because they saw I was already changing the tyre. It may be different if a poor lady driver was standing helplessly by the road side. Quite scary to think of it. Won't ask my wife to fetch me from the airport again after that incident. Better be on the safe side and take a cab.

Yup, true. I have heard of nails in motor cycle lane and a roaming repair man going round changing bike tubes....
Tow trucks waiting in corners laced with oil......
This could be another......

I saw some punk pouring oil onto the tarmac at Karak highway somewhere at that few tight bend just before the exit to Genting Highland.
But that was quite a few years back then.
Ram me if you can!
