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: Grip the wheel, keep straight, and ease off the accelerator.
Why
Grip the steering wheel, keep a steady straight course and ease off the accelerator. Avoid braking initially while you bring the vehicle under control and let it slow. Once control and a suitable speed are established, use only gentle braking if needed and move off the road safely; do not make an abrupt turn.
