What should you do during a tire blow-out?

Accelerate and steer towards the blowout side
Brake hard immediately
Take your foot off the gas, avoid braking, steer straight, slow down gradually and then brake softly
Turn on your emergency flashers and stop immediately

The correct answer is: Accelerate and steer towards the blowout side

During a tire blow-out, the safest and most effective action is to take your foot off the gas, avoid braking hard, steer straight, and slow down gradually before braking softly. This approach helps maintain control of the vehicle, as a sudden acceleration or aggressive steering can lead to loss of control. When a tire blows out, it can create an abrupt jerking motion, and turning sharply or braking hard could exacerbate the situation, potentially causing the driver to lose control. Gradually reducing speed allows you to assess the situation and find a safe place to come to a stop without creating additional hazards for yourself or other road users. Emergency flashers could be utilized once the vehicle is safely stopped, but immediately stopping could create dangers for vehicles still traveling at speed. The emphasis should be on maintaining control of the vehicle until you can safely stop.
