I had a front spring snap on a volvo 240 at about 40mph many many years ago, and didn't realise what had happened until the broken spring casued a blow out on the corresponding tyre. It had acted like a lathe and carved a huge track into the sidewall.
At the time, it didn't feel like a serious incident, evidenced by the fact I carried on driving oblivious. I was 18 though. I'd hope I'd at least stop if it happened now.
