Warning: Do not change a wheel in a situation where you risk being hit by other traffic. On busy roads, try to stop in a lay-by or a gateway. Be wary of passing traffic while changing the wheel - it is easy to become distracted by the job in hand.

• When a puncture occurs, stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

• Park on firm level ground, if possible, and well out of the way of other traffic.

• Use hazard warning lights if necessary.

• If you have one, use a warning triangle to alert other drivers of your presence.

• Apply the handbrake and engage first or reverse gear (or Park on models with automatic transmission).

• Chock the wheel diagonally opposite the one being removed - a couple of large stones will do for this.

• If the ground is soft, use a flat piece of wood to spread the load under the jack.
