California Driver License (DMV) Written Practice Test

If your tire suddenly goes flat while you are driving

Do not use the brakes Push further down on the accelerator Apply the brakes hard Shift into a lower gear

Correct Answer:

Do not use the brakes

Explanation:

If your tire suddenly goes flat while you are driving, it is important to remain calm and safely bring your vehicle to a stop. Applying the brakes hard or pushing further down on the accelerator can both cause the vehicle to lose control and increase the chances of an accident. Shifting into a lower gear is also not recommended, as it can cause the vehicle to jerk and potentially cause further damage to the tire. Instead, the best option is to slowly release the accelerator and gently steer to the side of the road, using the remaining momentum to come to a safe stop.
