Correct answer: 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).
