What is the incorrect procedure to follow in case of a tire blowout?

  1. Slow down and pull off onto the shoulder

  2. Brake immediately to avoid tire damage

  3. Grip the steering wheel firmly

  4. Turn on hazard lights

The correct answer is: Brake immediately to avoid tire damage

Braking immediately to avoid tire damage is incorrect because it can cause loss of control and potentially lead to a car accident. Once a tire blowout occurs, it is important to maintain control of the vehicle by gripping the steering wheel firmly and slowly reducing speed by taking your foot off the gas pedal. You should then gradually merge to the shoulder and turn on your hazard lights to indicate to other drivers that you are experiencing a problem. Braking abruptly can also cause further damage to the car and make it more difficult to safely come to a stop. It is important to remain calm, maintain control, and slowly guide your car to a safe spot off the road.
