I know how to change a tyre. When I was 17 my driving instructor recommended it as the first thing to learn once I'd passed my test. So I learnt. I've had a few opportunities to refresh that knowledge since, but have never been alone having to change one. The thing that surprises me most about your story above is that you haven't had (or taken?) similar advice. That surprise is closely followed by surprise at your comment about it being the left wheel so not having to go into traffic. I'd assume the RAC guy would have towed the car somewhere safer if it had been a right hand side wheel . Don't you think he would have? I'd always have roadside assistance because I travel alone often when I'm driving and roadside assistance guarantees a tow to the destination. It's as necessary as insurance to me.
