In case of a tire blowout, what should you avoid doing?

  1. Hold the steering wheel lightly

  2. Accelerate hard

  3. Apply brakes immediately

  4. Slow down rapidly

The correct answer is: Apply brakes immediately

In case of a tire blowout, it is crucial to avoid applying brakes immediately. Braking suddenly can cause the vehicle to skid or lose control, especially if a front tire blows out. Instead, it is recommended to hold the steering wheel firmly and steer in the direction you want to go while gradually releasing the accelerator to slow down. It is also advised to avoid sudden movements or jerking the steering wheel to maintain better control of the vehicle during a tire blowout situation.
