Hello,
Brought the van home on saturday (we are allowed to). Just noticed the back tyre, drivers side is completely flat. Must've been a slow puncture. I know hardly anything about tyres (been driving less than a year) and my boyfriend is away on a course. I am due in tomorrow but would it be safe to drive in tomorrow morning? Its about 2 miles away. Should I call the RAC on a sunday evening? Normally I am not the driver (I'm not keen) but my partner is off sick. Help please?

Open vehicle log book,check for number for tyre fixing,call it.

Yes, I signed them when I had passed my test. I rang the number in the log book and someone coming round in about an hour...

It's not something u sign when you pass the driving g assessment it's done after your dom comes out to your house to do a security risk assessment
