Explanation
If a tire suddenly blows out while you're driving, try to stay calm. Grip the steering wheel firmly and avoid panicking. Do not slam on the brakes. Instead, gently take your foot off the accelerator to allow your vehicle to slow down gradually. Once the vehicle is under control and the road is clear, carefully steer to the shoulder of the road, making sure not to cut off other vehicles.
