What is the recommended action if a driver’s tire blows out?

When a driver experiences a tire blowout, maintaining a firm grip on the steering wheel is crucial. This action helps the driver to regain control of the vehicle, which may pull to one side due to the loss of tire pressure. By keeping a steady grip, the driver can make necessary adjustments to stay on course and prevent swerving or losing control.

In such a situation, instead of rapidly accelerating or making immediate sharp turns, the focus should be on stabilizing the vehicle. Once control is established, the driver can then gradually reduce speed and find a safe place to pull over. Proper handling during a blowout is vital for the safety of both the driver and others on the road.
