I’ve not been having the best of days and this has topped it off. Currently waiting for roadside assistance to arrive so I can get the tyre changed.
Update: RAC (UK roadside breakdown service) turned up and switched it out in under 30 minutes, we found a wood screw in the tyre which is what caused the puncture.
I couldn’t change it myself due to not having the tools with me. Luckily my boss understood and I actually got out of a call I didn’t want to go to so silver lining I suppose.
Take a picture of it so next time you are late for something you have an excuse
You can’t change it yourself? When I taught my kids to drive, I also made sure they knew how to change a tyre.
They make tire inflators that can be plugged into your car’s DC outlet. In the event that your tire isn’t thrashed, you can fill it up and keep on going. I had a slow leak in a tire for 9 months that I just topped off until I got it fixed. Sorry about your luck, friend.
My Miata doesn’t have a spare. It comes with a small DC inflator and a can of fix a flat.
