Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. Pull in where safe on the hard shoulder and call for assistance.

Don't try to change a wheel on a motorway, as this could be very dangerous. Drive the car on to the hard shoulder, and when it is safe to do so, get out of the vehicle and move behind the barrier. Call for assistance from a motorway emergency phone or using a mobile phone (call the Gardaí).
