A tire blows out at highway speed. What should the driver do?
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 firmly, ease off the gas, and slow gradually.
Why
Maintain direction, slow smoothly, and leave traffic only after the vehicle is stable and the path is clear.
