If you get a front wheel blow out, like I have had, you may find that your cruise control shuts off. I don't know if it is because of one of the electronic sensors or what but my cruise control shut off with a blow out.
Of course everyone drives with their cruise control but they also have the steering wheel in their hands and their feet near the brake and throttle.
Hitting the throttle for me is not intuition, it is training and experience, which all of us that drive RV's gain with every mile that we drive. Obviously you cannot train for every emergency that might come up, but like I did with my airplanes, I watched examples and read information about what to do in certain situations. Much like watching a tire blow out video is not like the real thing, but it should condition you to make the right decision if it ever does happen to you.
