It is very important to determine in time that a wheel puncture has occurred. While driving, pay attention to the behavior of the car: if it began to accelerate poorly, the effort on the steering wheel increased when maneuvering, or the directional stability worsened, be sure to check the pressure in the wheels.
The easiest way to repair a wheel is to go to your nearest tire shop, where the repair will be done quickly, professionally, and usually at a very affordable price.
WARNING: Do not try to get to the tire shop with a completely flat tire: it is enough to drive a few tens of meters and the tire will have to be thrown away.
You need to replace the damaged wheel with a spare. However, this rather simple operation requires some skills.
In the event of a tire puncture, turn on the alarm, brake the car smoothly to a speed of 2–3 km/h, in first gear try to carefully move to the edge of the carriageway and stop as far to the right as possible at the curb, and if possible, outside the carriageway. If road conditions allow and this does not contradict the requirements of the Rules of the Road, in case of a puncture of any wheel on the right side of the car, pull over to the right side of the road, in case of a puncture on the left - to the left. Try not to stop the car in places where the road is poorly visible: in sharp turns, on descents and ascents, bridges, in tunnels. If the car is left on the roadway, first of all, ensure your own safety and the safety of other road users! Turn on the hazard warning lights and set the warning triangle.
