Angry gotta say I'm disgusted

Hi All, gotta get this off my chest! My missus drives an e-gas car which only came with a "space saver" spare wheel, only good for 80kmh. Goes to leave work tonight, about 5:30pm to find tyre flat. Calls racv, but meanwhile some workmates leaving late helped change the tyre, & off she goes to get home. So far sounds good doesn't it? 2 problems though, tyre services are shut, & home is 55kms away up the Hume highway. She tries to do the right thing, puts emergency lights on, pulls into emergency lane where possible but there must have been a lot of impatient d@#d Sh^ts on the road tonight - the abuse she copped! Truckies & cars insisted on flashing lights, tooting horns, driving right up her @rse, some missing by so little she thought one truck had hit her! This is on a four lane highway with plenty of light to see by, not to mention her emergrncy lights. The missus also says that the abuse was all from male drivers when she could see them. Just gotta ask where do people get off? There no law says she has to do the speed limit & not her fault the tyre services were shut. We'll get a full size spare soon, but that s the end of any courtesy by me to fellow drivers in the future, i.e.no more moving right for vehicles merging off ramps unless the law says I have to, in fact nothing unless the law says. Wonder how p platers & learners get on in NSW?
