- Make sure to never touch the brake or abruptly release the accelerator
- Once you have control of the vehicle, find a spot on the side of the road to pull over
By responding in a calm, collected manner, you can help reduce your chances of a rollover after a blowout. However, no matter how safe you may be, you can still suffer an accident.
