What is the first action to take after regaining control of your vehicle during a blowout?

When you experience a blowout and regain control of your vehicle, the first step is to ease off the gas pedal to slow down. This approach allows you to decelerate gradually and maintain better control over the vehicle, rather than making abrupt movements that could lead to losing control again.

Sudden acceleration after a blowout can exacerbate the situation and make it more difficult to handle the vehicle. Activating your hazard lights is important for alerting other drivers, but it should generally come after you start to slow down and create a safe space for maneuvering. Similarly, pulling the emergency brake is not recommended, as it can lead to skidding and further complicate the situation. By easing off the gas, you reduce speed steadily and create the opportunity to safely navigate to the side of the road or a safe location.
