If a tire blows out while you are driving, what is the safest immediate action to take?
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: Lift off the gas and steer firmly where you want to go.
Why
If a tire blows out, do not brake hard. Take your foot off the gas, grip the steering wheel firmly to maintain control, and brake gently only when the vehicle has slowed down.
