Don't Panic

Both answers are some what correct. Grip the steering wheel with both hands and be ready for anything. Let off the gas. High center of gravity SUV'S tend to roll over if the truck turns sideways. Steer into the skid and keep your eyes where you want the car to end up. Try to drive straight to a stop. Prayer Optional. Good drivers save lifes.

The Mr. Pine

Take your foot off the gas and control the vehicle. Turn on your flashers and move to the nearest shoulder.

Hit your hazard lights and let your foot off of the gas. Do not hit the breaks. If you drive a standard start to down shift as you slow down. Start to find the safest side to pull over.

DialM4Speed

Don't hit the brakes! Take your foot off the gas and coast until your speed much lower.

fideux

Take your foot off the gas, keep your foot off the brake, and focus on controlling your steering. Do not steer to the side until you are sure you have regained control. A sudden move to the side to get to the shoulder could result in a rollover accident.

it sort of depends on the camber, caster, size of tire, etc, but more likely it will turn in the direction of the blown out tire since it has a smaller diameter of travel, so try to turn away from that and go straight while slowing down and pulling to the side.

Remove your foot from the gas pedal, steer the car towards the side of the road, then stop by easily applying the brakes. After that, call AAA and then change your underwear!

grab your ankles with both hands and kiss your *** goodbye.

Take your foot off the gas and coast to the side of the road.

hold on and slow down without appling brake very hard. it depends on the wheel it is. if it is on the front than you will not be able to steer properly. if it is on the rear you can steer but may loose control anyway. do not panic. if you have a suv there is not much you can do but hold on and do not steer away from it. you need to let the vehicle work for you not you work for the vehicle.

Vince L

let off the gas and put your car in neutral very slowly brake with caution and if you detect control loosing let it coast
and lightly turn off the road/depending on your suspension don't let it ride for too long or it can cause rotor damage as well as other damage not seeable from the human eye
when your turned off of the road check your shocks if they are sitting on a slant your in deep stuff/ hope this helps
