A VERY slow, long turn and decelration later i got myself into the inside lane and put on the warning lights.
You hear so many scare stories about blow outs that i think i got very lucky.
Kudos to my car for holding it together.

would have been a dammed sight worse if it had been a front tyre , glad you survived it though
