Take your foot off theaccelerator pedal and grip the steering wheel firmly.Steer to maintain lane position, and then gently brake toa stop well out of the traffic lane.A rear blow out, particularly on a curve, acts much like askid and may require the same correction you woulduse in a skid. In any rear blow out, remove your footfrom the accelerator pedal. Get the vehicle undercontrol by steering the way you want the vehicle to go.It may be very bumpy and noisy, but you can still steer.Gently brake to a stop, well off the road if possible.6-32
