Had a bad day today whilst driving home... running a screw over and blowing my tyre whilst doing 70ish on the motorway today!
Managed to get to the hard shoulder safe enough.
The tyre was absolutely fucked! Spare was a bit bald too!
When I got home I went to a local garage to get 3 new ones (2 rears, and a new spare)... 90 quid!
Second time that's happened to me tho... first time in my old Metro whilst travelling up the M1 had a nail blow a tyre out. Now a screw blows a tyre on me Tigra. The Metro one was scary as tho... ended up spinning 180 and facing a lorry making his way towards me!
Yikes!! Thank god nowt like that's happened to me! My sis kerbed her old car when she dropped me at school - she had to sneak to my grandads and leave the car there and get my grandad to sort it - or her bf would've gone mental at her lol! But she got the tyre changed etc right and her bf still went "that's a different tyre! wheres the other one?!" haha.
