Where should you move your weight if your rear tire blows out?

Explanation:
When a rear tire blows, your priority is to keep the vehicle stable by not shifting your weight. Moving forward or toward the rear can destabilize the car: shifting forward can upset front-end control, while shifting backward can worsen any oversteer as the rear end slides. Stay in your current position, keep a firm but steady grip on the wheel, look ahead where you want to go, and gently ease off the throttle to regain control. Steer smoothly to keep the car on a straight path and slow down gradually to a safe stop.
