Explanation
If a tire suddenly goes flat, hold the steering wheel tightly and concentrate on your steering, so that the vehicle doesn't violently swerve to the side. Take your foot off the gas pedal and use the brakes lightly to slow down gradually. If possible, do not stop on the road. Instead, pull off the road in a safe place.
