Puncture On Motorway
You have a puncture on motorway and pull onto the hard shoulder. Do you change the wheel yourself or call the RAC (or similar)?
Asking because in work we are advised to call the RAC that can take up to 2 hours to reach you.

I just wondered why your workplace was giving advice on breakdowns? At work, our drivers are not even allowed to top up the oil or change a bulb on a van (not that we take any notice of that!). Instead, our vehicle management company that we use send someone out to do it, which is not great when a van is due out within the next ten minutes

unless the tyre was shredded i would try to pump it up, even just enough to get to a slip road or services etc.
if it wasn't totally flat i would probably keep driving on it until i reached a safe place - and depending on conditions i may just drive on the rim, if the nearest exit was close - i know that can damage the wheel but better that than getting splatted on the motorway.
i can always buy a new rim
