If a tire goes flat while you are driving, you should:

Pull over to the side of the road and replace it.
Accelerate and reduce air pressure in the other tires.
Slowly reduce your speed until the tire has fully deflated.
Use your hazard lights and keep moving until the road is clear ahead.

The correct answer is: Slowly reduce your speed until the tire has fully deflated.

If a tire goes flat while you are driving, the safest option is to slowly reduce your speed until the tire has fully deflated. This allows you to maintain control of the vehicle and safely maneuver to the side of the road. Option A may be dangerous as it involves stopping suddenly on the road, potentially causing an accident. Option B is incorrect as it suggests reducing the air pressure in other tires, which could further impact the handling of the vehicle and cause other tire-related issues. Option D is also incorrect as it advises to keep moving, which can be dangerous and potentially cause damage to the car and pose a risk to other drivers on the road.
