What should a driver do during a tire blowout?
A tire suddenly blows out on the blue vehicle travelling at highway speed. An inset enlarges the flat tire.
Correct answer: Grip the wheel firmly and ease off the gas
Why
Hold the wheel firmly and ease off the accelerator. Keep a straight controlled course. Once speed is reduced and control is secure, brake gently and reach a safe place off the travel lane. Do not make an abrupt shoulder turn.
