BDifficulty 2/5

If a front tyre bursts while driving a car, what initial action helps maintain control?

Correct answer

Reduce speed gently.

Hold the steering wheel firmly, maintain a controlled course and reduce speed smoothly, avoiding abrupt acceleration, braking or steering. Stop in a safe location when possible and follow emergency measures. Smooth inputs help retain control but do not guarantee unaffected steering or prevent every crash.
