Will I be penalized for changing a flat tire myself on the highway?

[DeAbigail]

Changing a flat tire yourself on the highway will not result in penalty points, as long as it does not obstruct normal traffic flow. Emergency handling for a flat tire on the highway: When a rear tire bursts, the driver should stay calm, firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands, strive to keep the vehicle moving straight, and decelerate to a stop. If a front tire bursts, the driver should also firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands, ease off the accelerator pedal, and strive to maintain straight-line driving. A front tire blowout is more dangerous, so the driver must make every effort to control the steering wheel and quickly shift to a lower gear. Procedures after a flat tire on the highway: If a vehicle experiences a flat tire on the highway, the driver should immediately turn on the hazard warning lights, check for vehicles behind, and place a triangular warning sign at least 150 meters behind the vehicle. In windy conditions, use a heavy object to secure the warning sign to prevent it from being blown over. Call the emergency number for assistance and also contact your insurance company for support.
