Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
At highway speed, one of your tires blows out with a loud bang and the steering wheel jerks. What should you do?
Correct answer: Grip the wheel, ease off the gas, and brake only when nearly stopped.
Why
A blowout can jerk the steering wheel and pull the car off course, so a firm two-handed grip comes first. Let the car slow and guide it completely off the roadway, then switch on your hazard flashers. Only change the tire if it is safe to work away from passing traffic.
