Which of the following is a key step during a tire blowout incident after stopping safely?

• A. Ignore and continue
• B. Remove the tire immediately while the bus is in motion
• C. Inspect after
• D. Call parent

Answer: (C)

After stopping safely, the next step is to inspect the tire and wheel area to assess damage and decide how to proceed. This quick check helps you confirm whether the tire and rim are intact, whether lug nuts are secure, and whether there’s any danger such as a shredded tire or leaking air. By evaluating the condition before moving again, you can determine if you can safely continue with a spare, need to call for maintenance, or must arrange repair. Ignoring the issue or continuing with a blown tire is unsafe, removing a tire while the bus is moving is dangerous, and contacting a parent does not address the immediate safety needs.
