At highway speed, a front tire suddenly blows out, and the car pulls to one side. What should you do?
A blue car has a visibly flat front tire on a two-lane road beside a clear shoulder. The question card states that the tire blows out at highway speed and the car pulls to one side; no recovery route is shown.
Correct answer: Hold the wheel firmly, ease off the gas, and let the car slow down.
Why
The tire is already lost, so your only task is to reach safety under control. Turn on your hazard lights as soon as you can, and check traffic before you change lanes. Drive onto the shoulder slowly, well away from traffic.
