A tire suddenly blows out at highway speed. What should the driver do first?
A blue car centered in its highway lane has a genuinely deflated rear tire, with collapsed rubber and a lower attached rim. An enlarged crop shows that same actual tire. A paved shoulder lies beyond the edge line.
Correct answer: Hold the wheel tightly, steer straight, and ease off the gas.
Why
Smooth deceleration and firm steering help stabilize the vehicle before moving off the roadway.
