Lift your foot off of the gas pedal and what ever way that you are sliding turn the wheels in that direction. DO NOT PRESS THE BREAK, THAT IS A BIG NO NO! That will cause an accident because you are skidding and you tires have no traction, therefore you cannot stop.

The law says that you must have care and control of you car at all times. There's not too much you can do if a tire blows out but slow down the best you can and try to do it smoothly .
You have to drive to suit the conditions. If there are these hazards present, slow down.

take the key out of the ignition...

Focus on the direction you want to go, it's the most common error people make in a loss of control. If you fixate off of the road, you will go off the road.
