What should you do if your tire blows out while driving?

  1. Steer sharply to the right

  2. Hold the steering wheel firmly and slow down gradually

  3. Accelerate to regain control

  4. Stop immediately in the road

The correct answer is: Hold the steering wheel firmly and slow down gradually

When a tire blows out while driving, it is vital to maintain control of the vehicle to ensure your safety and the safety of others on the road. Holding the steering wheel firmly and slowing down gradually allows you to maintain stability as you reduce speed. This approach helps prevent skidding or losing control, which can occur if you suddenly change your direction or speed. Gradually slowing down also gives you the chance to assess the situation and find a safe area to pull over, such as the shoulder of the road, away from traffic. Taking this measured response is crucial for safely handling a tire blowout.
