Rules of the Road

A front tire blows out while you are driving at highway speed. You should:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Take your foot off the gas pedal slowly, grip the steering wheel firmly, and pull off the road when safe

A blowout pulls the car sideways. Braking hard makes the pull worse — keep a firm grip on the wheel, ease off the gas, and coast down to a safe speed before pulling over. The handbook is explicit: do not use your brakes at first.

Why the other answers are wrong

  • A.Slam the brakes to stop as quickly as possibleSlam braking loses steering control; the pull from the blown tire becomes uncontrollable.
  • C.Accelerate to regain controlAccelerating increases speed and risk; the safe response is controlled slowing without brake application.
  • D.Turn sharply to the shoulderSharp turns while losing a tire can cause a rollover; straight control first, then gradual lane change.
