I have unfortunately snapped a wheelnut (half of it still in the hub) on the near side front wheel. I need to drive a couple hundred miles to catch a flight and I leave home about 3am. I made it home without incident, but is it safe to drive if the other 4 are tight?

I have to leave home at 3:00 in the morning to get a flight just after 7:00 and it is about 200 miles of motorway (each way). Will it be ok to drive up, and back on Tuesday and then fix it then?

and check the nuts

(I know it won't, and know I am just being paranoid!) It's for times like this that I have two cars, they are never both 100% at the same time! But.... I have about 30 minutes to make my decision as I need to make sure the airport parking booking is set the right registration before their office closes for the night!
