Cevap
Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel, avoid depressing the brake pedal, and slowly release the accelerator pedal.
When a tire suffers a blowout or tread separation, the damaged wheel creates strong asymmetric drag. Maintaining a firm steering wheel grip while taking your foot off the gas lets the vehicle decelerate naturally without destabilizing forces from hard braking.
