What should you do if you have a flat tire while driving?

Continue driving at normal speed
Suddenly steer to the side of the road
Avoid abrupt steering, and slowly reduce your speed before pulling over safely
Immediately apply the brakes hard

The correct answer is: Avoid abrupt steering, and slowly reduce your speed before pulling over safely

When you experience a flat tire while driving, the safest course of action is to avoid abrupt movements and gradually reduce your speed. This approach helps maintain control of the vehicle, allowing you to steer it safely to the side of the road. Quick or harsh steering can lead to loss of control, especially if the tire has gone flat on one side. Similarly, applying the brakes hard can cause the vehicle to skid or tip over, especially in a larger vehicle or on a wet road. By slowing down gently and steering towards a safe area away from traffic, you minimize the risk of an accident and ensure that you can stop in a controlled manner. Once at the side of the road, you can assess the situation without endangering yourself or others on the road.
