If you discover damage or a puncture in a tyre, what should you do?

Correct answer

Stop safely and seek assistance or follow an authorised solution before continuing.

Stop safely and assess assistance or a manufacturer-permitted solution before continuing; a professional must determine whether repair is possible. Do not drive normally with a damaged or deflated tyre. Some kits provide temporary repairs for certain punctures, subject to speed and distance limits; they do not suit every type of damage or provide a permanent repair.
