Nobody said the manufacturer doesn't share some blame, I just think drivers ed should have a chapter or two about emergency reaction and how to handle unexpected situations.

We can hope and assume tires will never blowout, or we can teach our kids how to stop safely and jack a car up and change it when it does. There's plenty of time to figure out who's to blame after the fact.
