I've never lived in Europe. I have a few friends who do. 

My best friend has lived in the UK their entire life, and they were confused when I told them about what you said.  

Are you sure, the correct answer wasn't something like pull over to somewhere safe? You'd need to do that before changing your tire.  

It is part of the highway code.  I'll bet you every penny I have.  I'm not wrong.  

If a tyre bursts while you are driving, try to keep control of your vehicle. Grip the steering wheel firmly and allow the vehicle to roll to a stop at the side of the road.

If you have a flat tyre, stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Only change the tyre if you can do so without putting yourself or others at risk - otherwise call a breakdown service.
