SUBJECT 4 · EMERGENCY AVOIDANCE
When a tire bursts suddenly while driving, what should the emergency response be?

Hold the steering wheel tightly and stop the car smoothly as soon as possible.
✓
C
Turn the steering wheel quickly to adjust the direction.
D
Look for a place to change tires while driving slowly.
ANSWER · B
Do not brake to slow down. The vehicle's center of gravity shifts toward the blown tire, and braking exacerbates the shift, causing rollover. After a blowout, steer with moderate corrections. A high-speed blowout makes the vehicle veer rapidly toward the blown side; without calm handling and proper steering correction, the vehicle cannot maintain its direction and will sway across the road, which is very dangerous.
