Currently sat on the side of the M40 southbound with a blown out front right tyre since 3:15pm. RAC have just updated the tracker for the third time to say someone now might be with me between 8 and 10pm.
Any motorway breakdown stories to share to keep me sane? Or general tips on how to pass the hours. I have tried counting cars and it gets boring after 900 or so.
Update 1: it’s 19:20 and no sign of rescue in sight. I’ve bitten the bullet and called a local company to tow me to the nearest services to attempt a tyre change myself. Thanks for all the replies everyone :)it has kept me sane!
Update 2: 21:30 and I’ve just got home. In a classic turn of events the RAC called to say they’d be on their way as the local tow guy put my car on his truck. Made it to a services swapped the spare on and drove home! Thanks for all the fun stories and replies. Lots of good lessons for future thank you 🙂
