More of, what I consider nonsense, of accelerating if a blow out occurs. That may be technically a good idea. However, it is no substitute for proper steering action. And I doubt there is one person in a 100 that will both counter steer correctly and remember to hit the accelerator.
Gripping the steering wheel in a death grip and stepping on the accelerator, instead of steering, will accomplish nothing.
A lot of common sense right there. The crown certainly influenced the direction the vehicle wanted to go as well.
When I hear the floor the accelerator deal, I'm at a loss to explain. My combo doesn't start producing real power for a moment after you floor it. By that time this guy was in the middle of the two roads! And how long do you leave it floored? Does the tire get less flat after 5 seconds?
Things were stacked against this guy from the get-go. He was moving right along, which didn't help. He was towing a substantial truck which complicates it a little. He was in the left lane with the crown going left, and the left tire blew. I don't know what happened with the steering wheel and he probably doesn't either. It doesn't look like steering action was taken, but hard to say.
