If one of your tires suddenly blows out while you are driving, what is the first thing you should do?
Blue car A faces right in its lane on a two-way road. The front tire nearest the viewer is flat. No path or control action is shown.
Correct answer: Ease off the gas and steer firmly where you want to go
Why
Slamming on the brakes during a blowout will cause the vehicle to violently swerve and lose control. You must hold the steering wheel tight, take your foot off the gas, and let the vehicle slow down gradually.
