If I get a flat tire, can I still drive to a gas station to get it fixed?

My tire isn't completely flat. Is it safe to drive a short distance to a gas station?

“Even if your tire isn’t completely flat, driving any distance on it could further damage the tire or your wheel.

If you have roadside assistance with your
car insurance
company or
AAA
, you can also call them for service.”
