Emergencies & HazardsPregunta 84 de 120
You are traveling at highway speed when a front tire blows out. What should you do first?
a.Brake hard immediately
b.Hold the steering wheel firmly, stay off the brake, and let the vehicle slow on its own before easing to the shoulder
c.Steer sharply onto the shoulder
d.Accelerate to regain control
Explicación
Braking on a blown tire pulls the vehicle sharply toward the failed side, so you must keep it straight and let it slow before braking gently and pulling off. Sharp steering can roll the vehicle, and accelerating adds energy to an already unstable situation.
