Default Wheel nuts snapped! :eek:

Hi,
I was trying to undo a wheel nut and its snapped off!!!
Seeing as it didn't undo at all will it still be safe to drive?
Its probably a simple easy job for a garage to drill it out im guessing?

Thanks for any help.

David (the new Jim - no offence!)

I would imagine it would be ok.dont go mad though and get the garage to sort it asap.I remember a trick i was once told about.if during a wheel change you managed to kick the wheel nuts down a drain and couldnt get them back,people used to take a nut of each of the other wheels so they had 3 on each corner.wouldnt drive it for long though.
