Generally in the direction of the side that blows out. The sudden extra drag slows down that side and the rear end of the car will fish-tail to the left on a right front blow out, causing the car to point to the right. And vice-versa. If you are paying attention to your driving and have a firm grip on wheel, it won't swerve at all.

When a front tire blows out, the vehicle typically pulls strongly in the direction of the blown tire. This is because the loss of air pressure affects the tire's ability to maintain grip on the road, causing the vehicle to veer toward the side of the flat tire. It's crucial for the driver to remain calm, avoid sudden steering movements, and gradually slow down to regain control.
I swerve to the left to avoid hitting the deer.The car in front stalled, forcing him to swerve.
The last time I drove in a city which had streetcars, the trolleys had the right of way. They are harder to stop and cannot swerve to avoid an accident. Legal or not, do you really WANT to contest the right-of-way with a vehicle that outweighs you by several tons and is incapable of changing direction to avoid you?
The vehicle will immediately swerve toward the blown tire side. Rear braking is very handy at this point. Pull on emergency brake as hard as you can.
pull hard in the direction of the deflated tire
Hazards within 10-12 seconds in front of your vehicle could include sudden braking by the vehicle ahead, pedestrians crossing the street, animals on the road, or debris that could cause you to swerve or lose control. It's important to scan the road ahead and be prepared to react quickly to avoid potential dangers.
In the direction you want the front of the vehicle to go.
Sorry but you are at fault in this situation even if a vehicle stops in front of you because in the eyes of the law you must leave enough room between you and the next vehicle to stop at all times. If not you are apt to be cited for following too close in a rear end collision.
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.
