You drive at 65 mph on the interstate when your right front tire blows out. The car pulls hard to the right. What should you do first?
A drives in the right lane of an interstate. The card states that the right front tire fails at 65 mph and the car pulls right.
Correct answer: Grip the wheel firmly, keep the car straight, and ease off the accelerator
Why
A front-tire blowout pulls the car sharply toward the flat tire; a rear blowout makes the car wobble and shake. Firm steering and a gradual slowdown keep you in control. When the car is slow, pull off at a safe place, turn on the emergency flashers, and never change a tire in a traffic lane.
