How To Ride A Blow Out
To control a blow-out grip the steering wheel hard and concentrate on keeping the car straight. Keep the foot on the accelerator, and if possible speed up slightly, so as to help stop the swerve. . Jamming on* the brakes will only help to accentuate the swerving and add skidding to the troubles. Don’t use the brakes until the.car is completely under control, then apply gently and slowly. Don’t get panicky. ' • Blow-outs seldom cause aciclents: it is the subsequent blowing up of the driver that does it.
