A flat tire is never fun, but you can learn how to handle it without the panic! Read this for tips on how to safely handle a flat tire so that you’re prepared for the unexpected.

If you have a spare tire, pull over to a safe location. If you don't have one, or if the spare tire is also flat, call a tow truck. While you wait, be sure to stay safe; you can remain in your car and turn on your hazards so you can be seen by other drivers, and they know to be cautious driving past you.

If you're comfortable with it, you can move your car to the side of the road so that it's not blocking traffic.

Once the tow truck arrives, provide the driver with detailed information about where you are located so they can easily find you. If you’re in an unfamiliar area, it can help to search for local landmarks or streets.
