Question Analysis
This question tests knowledge of safe handling procedures during a tire blowout, as covered in the Texas DPS Driver's Handbook. The handbook states that if a tire blows out, you should hold the steering wheel firmly, take your foot off the gas, and not brake immediately. Instead, let the vehicle slow down gradually, then pull off the road to a safe location. The correct answer is 'All of the above' because each listed action is part of the recommended response.
Correct Answer Analysis
Correct Answer: All of the above.
The correct option 'All of the above' is right because it combines the three key steps from the Texas DPS handbook: (1) take your foot off the gas to avoid acceleration, (2) do not immediately use your brakes to prevent skidding or loss of control, and (3) gradually slow down and pull off the side of the road once the vehicle is under control. Together, these actions form the proper procedure for a tire blowout.
Wrong Options Analysis
Option: Take your foot of the gas.
This action is correct but incomplete on its own. It is one of the necessary steps, but the question asks for the full procedure, so it is not the best answer by itself.
Option: Do not immediately use your brakes.
This action is correct but incomplete on its own. It is an important part of the procedure, but not the entire answer.
Option: Gradually slow down and pull off the side of the road.
This action is correct but incomplete on its own. It is the final step, but the question requires all steps together.
