Is it safer for them to spend ten minutes there, changing a wheel, or an
hour and a half there, waiting for the recovery wagon?

There are plenty of ****nuggets out there. I bet many would say they
didn't want to go another 50 yards as it would damage the tyre. The
chances are the tyre is already ****ed, either due to the pucture or
simply by the driving on it just stopping after a sudden deflation.

They'll probably be the same ****nuggets who stop on brows of hills
or just round corners to answer/make a phone call.

Look at the sheer size of the wheels and tyres available on most non-
pikey-spec modern stuff.

Meh, tyres on my car are about 30" dia and 10" wide (255/55R18) full
size spare is on a bracket on the rear door. B-)
