Correct answer
- CNo, hay que utilizar el freno lo menos posible.No, you should use the brake as little as possible.

No. If a tyre bursts, hold the steering wheel firmly, keep your line, take your foot off the accelerator and brake gently and gradually, using the brake as little as possible. Braking hard can make you lose control, whichever axle is affected.
