What should you do if a tire goes flat while you are driving?

  1. Speed up

  2. Slam on the brakes

  3. Grip the steering wheel tightly

  4. Pull off the road and stop in a safe area

The correct answer is: Pull off the road and stop in a safe area

If you are driving and a tire goes flat, it is important to pull off the road and stop in a safe area. This is the safest option because continuing to drive on a flat tire can cause it to shred and potentially cause an accident. Slamming on the brakes or gripping the steering wheel tightly may also lead to losing control of the vehicle. Speeding up is not recommended as it can cause the tire to shred faster and also increases the risk of losing control of the vehicle.
