A tire suddenly goes flat 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, keep straight, and slow gradually.
Why
Calm steering and gradual speed reduction preserve control during a flat-tire emergency.
