At 60 mph, your left front tire blows out with a loud bang, and the car pulls hard to the left. What should you do?
Correct answer: Hold the wheel firmly and steer straight, ease off the gas, then brake gently
Why
A blowout can pull the car hard toward the side of the failed tire, and hard braking or a sharp turn at that moment can cause a loss of control. Keep a firm grip, steer straight ahead, take your foot off the gas, and brake gently only as the car slows. When the car is under control at a low speed, drive it slowly off the road and turn on your hazard lights.
