No, you should take your foot off the accelerator and slowly apply the brakes in that order. Do not slam on the brakes. Do not panic and hold the steering wheel solidly with both hands. Slow down and pull off the road. If you do not panic you will have no problem controlling your vehicle and safely stopping. The odds of a blowout on modern tires is very slim if you keep them at the recommended pressure as listed in your owners manual and on the drivers door post and do not overload your vehicle.

What should you do if front tire blows out?

Apply your brakes to slow/stop the vehicle (don't slam them on) and try to steer the vehicle off the roadway and out of traffic. Do not drive on a blown out tire, install your spare or call a tow company.


What will you experience if one of your front tires blows out?

You will experience the vehicle pull sharply toward the side of the blowout. If you do not panic you should be fine. Lift off the accelerator, and lightly apply the brakes. Hold tight to the steering wheel and once you have slowed to about 10 mph move to the side of the road. Accidents happen because people panic and jerk the steering wheel or slam on the brakes.

What do you not do if your tire blows?

When your tyre blows, do not apply the brakes very hard as this can cause you to lose control. You should keep calm, take your foot of the gas. Come to a slow stop using gentle braking if needed. Try to keep a steady course. The steering wheel may be flighty so this may take some effort. Gently edge the car to the edge of the road out of the flow of traffic if possible. Remove yourself to a safe place away from the flow of traffic and/or set up warning triangles as needed by your local laws. You can panic after you have stopped.

What will slamming on the brakes after a tire blows out result in?

It will result in an uncontrolled skid - possibly overturning the vehicle. The best action on a blow-out is to lightly 'tap' the brakes in short, rapid movements. This slows the vehicle to a stop - while allowing the driver to keep control.

What devices shutdown immediately if a short circuit occurs?

A circuit breaker shuts down and can be reset. (A fuse does not "shutdown", it fails, or blows, or breaks and cannot be reused.) "Immediately" usually has a small delay and nothing is instantaneous.
