LPT: Always place the spare tyre under your car when jacking. Stops the car falling on you and keeps it off the ground if it does fall off the jack.

Luckily I've never had a car fall off the jack, but it at the very least stops this happening [via /r/Justrolledintotheshop].

Edit: just to be clear, I'm only talking about when changing a tyre, obviously you want something more stable if you're going to work under the car.
