What is the first step to take during a blowout?

Apply brakes immediately
Keep going straight
Turn on headlights
Shift to neutral

The correct answer is: Apply brakes immediately

During a blowout, the correct first step to take is to maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel and avoid sudden movements while gradually slowing down by taking your foot off the accelerator. This is why applying brakes immediately (Choice A) is the correct answer. It is crucial not to panic and brake suddenly, which can cause loss of control of the vehicle. Keeping a straight line (Choice B), turning on headlights (Choice C), or shifting to neutral (Choice D) could potentially distract the driver or worsen the situation during a blowout.
