A tire suddenly 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 tight, keep straight, and slow gradually.
Why
Keep the vehicle straight and reduce speed gradually. The Arkansas handbook allows light braking as you slow; do not brake hard or turn sharply. Pull off the road when you can do so safely.
