I always carry the tools though, Socket to fit, breaker bar, bottle jack and wood block.
Of course the flat was on the traffic side and I was maybe 8" from 70 mph vehicles that were oblivious to me sticking out there.
I learned a valuable lesson. Get farther off the road if possible and I'm carrying my spare on the front of the truck now. Might not be the most stylish place for a spare but it's the safest and easiest to deal with.
