Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
You drive at 60 mph on a highway. With a loud bang, your right front tire blows out, and the car pulls hard to the right. What should you do first?
Correct answer: Hold the wheel firmly to keep the car straight, and lift your foot off the gas.
Why
A blowout makes the car pull toward the side of the flat tire. Firm steering keeps the car in your lane while it loses speed. When the car is slow and it is safe, pull off the road and turn on your emergency flashers. Call 911 if anyone is hurt.
