A front tire blows out while you drive at highway speed, and the car pulls hard to one side. What should you do?
Blue A continues in its lane at highway speed as a front tire blows out and the car pulls toward the flat tire.
Correct answer: Grip the wheel, ease off the gas, and brake gently only after slowing.
Why
A blowout can throw a car out of control in a moment. Look for a safe place and signal before you move off the highway. When you stop, make sure that the car is well off the road and use your parking lights or flashers to warn other drivers.
