Explanation
Applying the brakes quickly in response to a flat tire or blowout can exacerbate the situation, leading to loss of control over the vehicle. Instead, the driver should remain calm, gradually reduce speed by easing off the accelerator, and gently steer the vehicle to a safe location off the road, away from traffic. Abrupt braking can cause the vehicle to skid or veer unpredictably.
