New Hampshire Drivers Practice Test

In the event of a tire blowout, which direction should you steer?

To the left To the right Straight At an angle

Correct Answer:

Straight

Explanation:

When experiencing a tire blowout, it is essential to maintain control of the vehicle, which is why steering straight is the correct approach. A blowout can cause sudden instability, and if you oversteer to the left or right, it could lead to losing even more control or causing the vehicle to spin out. By keeping the steering wheel straight, you allow the vehicle to slow down gradually and safely without making abrupt movements. This method enables you to stabilize the car and guide it towards a safe area, such as the shoulder of the road. After regaining control and ensuring you are in a safe position, you can then safely come to a stop and address the issue with the tire.
