Safe in God's hands

This post is to give thanks to God for His protection.

On Tuesday 30th, there was heavy sleet, snow and rain and at the end of a driving lesson I asked a pupil to pull up to the side to park.  The nearside front tyre mounted the kerb then came back off with a nasty crunch.  Thinking it was a "normal" kerbing of the car I did not investigate, also cos it was so wet and cold outside.  However, I saw a little gash on the tyre wall on Wednesday morning at the start of a lesson.  After the two hour lesson I checked the tyre again and noticed the gash developed into a much bigger hole (as above!).

It was quite scary and horrible, to be able to see the inside of the tyre.  The Kwik-Fit mechanic said it looked like somebody tried to slash my tyres.  Haha!  I explained that a pupil mounted the kerb.  Which is what I had to report to the AA Group Claims number on Wednesday.  All I had to do was bring the car round to Kwik-Fit (nearest one was on Maryhill Road) and they had it sorted for me for free!

It's not just the free Kwik-Fit that I am thankful for, but thankful the tyre did not burst during the 2hr lesson which would have destroyed any confidence of the pupil and be quite scary, considering we were doing 60mph at some point of the lesson.

So again, thank God for His protection!  :)
