What do YOU do when the rear tire blows out?

Brake hard immediately Ease off the gas and coast Turn the wheel away from the blown tire Grip the wheel and steer to safety

Correct Answer:

Grip the wheel and steer to safety

Explanation:

When a rear tire blows out, the car tends to pull toward the flat tire and can become unstable. The best response is to keep a firm grip on the wheel with both hands and steer toward a safe area. By holding steady and guiding the vehicle, you maintain control and can slow down gradually by easing off the gas rather than slamming the brakes. Steer calmly toward the shoulder or a safe spot and let the car come to a stop there. Abrupt braking or turning sharply away from the blown tire can worsen the loss of control, and simply coasting without steering won’t safely get you to a stop. The priority is stable steering input that guides you to safety.
