Can You Drive with a Flat Rear Tire?

[SanFinn]

You cannot drive with a flat rear tire. At high speeds, whether it's a front or rear tire blowout, the first thing to do is to release the accelerator and steady the steering wheel. Avoid jerking the wheel or slamming on the brakes, and do not engage the handbrake. Once the vehicle's direction is stabilized, you can lightly tap the brakes to further reduce speed and gradually pull over to the side. If traffic is heavy, turn on the hazard lights to alert vehicles behind you. The car should be parked on the roadside or emergency lane, preferably on a flat surface. If the hazard lights are not already on, they should be activated immediately to warn other drivers. When changing to a spare tire, place a warning triangle 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle, or 150 meters on highways. In rainy or foggy conditions, increase this distance appropriately to alert approaching vehicles.
