How should you respond to a tire blowout?
Correct answer: Grip the wheel firmly and ease off the accelerator
Why
Keep a firm grip, ease off the accelerator and let the vehicle slow gradually after a blowout. Steer along the intended path; begin gentle braking once slowed. Signal or use hazards and pull off when safe, avoiding sudden braking or steering.
