I had a spring go whilst driving up our track in my Megane quite a few years back, destroyed the tyre but I had to get it home so as to not block the farm track.

Whe 2 springs went on my Tourer, the car hadnt moved but I think the cricial part was that they both ocurred following a really cold spell, which seems to play a big part in the occurence of these breaks. Never happened in summer. The tyre protetors that I hadnt fitted yet were hastily installed thereafter!! No problem this year, so far, with -16 for a few nights back in Feb. brrrrr.
