No, don't slam the brakes, lift your foot off the throttle, let the car slow itself down and pull over. Blow outs are pretty uncommon and are caused by driving on under inflated tires, Under inflated tires flex excessively this builds up heat eventually leading to a blow out, sometimes you see truckers feel their tires - check for a tire running hot.

What do uthink of employers who fit trackers in their workers vans sad or what?

If your tire goes 'suddenly flat' you should 'slow down' slowly by 'tapping lightly on the brakes' several times. If you 'slam on the brakes' you'll send your car into a 'spin' because one tire doesn't have enough air ... so 'slow down slowly until you come to a complete halt' in a SAFE SPOT on the side of the road.

Do you have to hug the curve when making a right turn?

Is pouring hot water on your windshield and windows a safety hazard in the winter?

No; take your foot off the gas, and HANG ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. Keep the car moving under your control; slamming on the brakes will only increase the possibility of a skid. Apply the brakes steadily and firmly, and guide your vehicle to the side of the road, out of the way of oncoming traffic.

This is a great example of a reason you should ALWAYS have both hands on the steering wheel; in the event of a blowout, you have a much better chance of remaining in control of your car if you have the strength of both hands to work with.

How do i get over my fear of driving?

In IL if one fails for a driving license road test, when can one appear again?

Immediately take your foot off the accelerator and slow down. Only use the brakes when you get your speed down to 10 or 15 miles per hour. Then move off the right side of the road at a sharp angle... if you try to just move off the road it could cause you to lose control. When you come to a stop put your 4 way flashers on for safety.

Why do people have to be so ignorant when driving?

First of all, you have brakes, not breaks. And hitting the brakes will guarantee a spin out.

Why is that on the AMBULANCE, the letters are painted in REVERSE direction?


You simply let off the gas and concentrate on steering the vehicle. Steer gently towards the shoulder of the highway if there's no one in the way. People behind will immediately see that you are in trouble and try to avoid you, but don't make any sudden moves.

If it's a rear tire, you should not have much trouble keeping the car under control. A front tire blow out is much more unpredictable. Not to mention that it will scare the crap out of you at first. Trust me.

Driving advise?


If you can't get to the shoulder, stop in the roadway and immediately put on your 4-way flashers. (****Make sure you know in advance how to activate your flashers.****)

If you're stopped in fast heavy traffic, like on a freeway, DO NOT get out of the vehicle. Activate your flashers, check your seatbelt, lock your doors, and pray that they don't hit you!
