Correct answer

  • Cinmovilizar rápidamente el vehículo fuera de la calzada, o en lugar seguro.quickly bring the vehicle to a stop off the carriageway, or in a safe place.
Explanation

You cannot drive safely with a flat tyre: you must move the vehicle off the carriageway and leave it in line with the parking rules whenever possible (Article 130.1 of the General Traffic Regulations) or, if not, stop it on the right-hand hard shoulder. Carrying on to the garage or abandoning the vehicle just anywhere is dangerous.
