Exclamation 1 of my 5 bolts missing ? HELP ASAP

hi guys, i was on the freeway and suddenly i felt something wrong with my tires and when i checked it up .. guess what ... 1 of my 5 bolts ...just broke and fell off ... and the other 4 was loose .. i locked those 4 really tight and then i asked a guy who was towing a car ... he said ...
"ok u have 5 bolts ..but i miss 1 .. make sure u lock those 4 really tight .. and u should be fine ...

i was wondering how it could be fixed ... if i am going to be okay driving with 4 bolts .. its my rear left tire ..

need this asap ... please guys ..
thanks

bump !

I believe that it is NOT safe to be driving without all your lugnuts... so i'd get it replaced ASAP. People drive like that all the time but its definitely not safe.

you can get a stud fairly cheap, about 2 to 4 bucks depending where you get it. autpzone, advance auto parts, pep boys, etc. you have to take off the caliper and rotor to get to it. bang it out with a mallet and you're good to go.

btw that trip you have to go on, it'll be fine as long as the 4 bolts are tight.

Yep, 4 will be fine if they're tight. I've driven with 3 before (to the shop of course).
