Explanation
A tire blowout will cause your car to lose speed and may pull to one side, increasing the risk of losing control. If you experience a blowout while driving, stay focused on steering and try to keep the vehicle straight. Avoid slamming on the brakes. Instead, gradually slow down by easing off the accelerator. Turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers and safely pull off the road, making sure not to cut anyone off if possible.
