Punctures
If you suffer a punctured tyre, there are several actions to take to recover safely, especially if it happens while you are driving.
If the puncture occurs while you are driving, it’s important to think about safety first. Activate the hazard warning lights and, if possible, move the car away from immediate danger. If necessary, call roadside assistance.
Warning
- Do not drive the car if it has a punctured tyre. It is not safe and will damage the car.
- If possible, exit your car from the side with the least traffic to avoid causing an accident.
- Place a warning triangle so that others are warned well in advance of passing your car. Remember to first put on a reflective vest if you have one.
Tip
If you need to use a temporary puncture repair kit, be sure to read its instructions before you start to use it.
