What should you do if your vehicle's tire blows out while driving?

Slam on the brakes immediately.
Steer sharply in the opposite direction of the blown-out tire.
Gradually slow down and steer your vehicle off the road.
Accelerate to maintain control of the vehicle.

The correct answer is: Gradually slow down and steer your vehicle off the road.

If your vehicle's tire blows out while driving, it's important to remain calm and avoid any sudden or aggressive movements. Option A is incorrect because slamming on the brakes can cause the vehicle to skid and lose control. Option B is also incorrect because sharply steering in the opposite direction can lead to overcorrection and loss of control. Option D is incorrect because accelerating can cause the vehicle to speed up and become more difficult to control. Gradually slowing down and steering your vehicle off the road is the safest option, as it allows you to maintain control and safely come to a stop. This also helps prevent any potential accidents or collisions with other vehicles on the road.
