Explanation
If a tire blowout occurs, hold the steering wheel tightly and keep your vehicle going straight. Do not apply the brakes. Doing so may cause your vehicle to become uncontrollable. Reduce your speed gradually without using the brakes until your vehicle is moving very slowly, then apply the brakes and pull off the roadway into a safe area.
