I was passed by a new Passat driving woman on the M6 a few months back, doing about 90 with a flat n/s rear. When I mentioned this to a mate, he recalled that he'd once experienced a rear puncture at a similar sort of speed, and he swears the only giveaway, apart from other drivers flashing their lights and pointing, was the smell of burning rubber!!

I shouldn't confess to this, but I will. Many years ago, whilst driving a company Cavalier, I had a rear puncture about a quarter of the way across the old Severn Bridge (before the new one was built). There was no way that I was going to stop and pay the compulsory recovery fee (not allowed to stop on the bridge and change a wheel).
I drove reasonably slowly (so as not to attract attention) until I got off the bridge, and then changed the wheel. The tyre was trashed, but it was over half worn anyway and my strategy was several pound cheaper than a tow.
