What to Do Immediately After a Highway Blowout
The first 10 seconds after a blowout determine whether you make it to the shoulder safely. Follow these steps and stay calm — your dispatch is only a phone call away.
A highway blowout is loud and violent. The immediate instinct is to slam the brakes — that is the worst thing you can do. Instead: grip the steering wheel firmly, let the car decelerate naturally, and steer to the shoulder.
Miami-Dade highway shoulders vary. On I-95, some sections have narrow breakdown lanes. On the 826, the shoulder is wider but traffic moves faster. Our dispatch team guides you to the safest spot while en route.
