Explanation
If a tire suddenly blows out while driving, take your foot off the gas pedal, do not use the brakes, and concentrate on steering. Grip the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and do not allow your vehicle to swerve out of your lane. Slow down gradually, and gently apply the brakes once the car is under control. Pull off the pavement when it is safe.
