How Far Can You Drive with a Flat Tire?
1 Answers
It is recommended not to continue driving if your car has a flat tire. Instead, take appropriate measures to slowly pull over to the roadside to minimize unnecessary safety risks. Below are relevant details about flat tires: 1. Flat tire scenarios: (1) If it is determined that the front tire has burst, first firmly grip the steering wheel and avoid making sudden adjustments to the direction. Once the vehicle stabilizes, gently apply the brakes to gradually reduce speed, then lightly steer the vehicle to the side of the road. Place a triangular warning sign approximately 100-200 meters behind the vehicle. (2) If the rear tire bursts, the vehicle's tendency to veer off course will be less pronounced. In this case, ease off the accelerator, gently apply the brakes, maintain control of the steering, and slowly pull over to the side. Similarly, place a triangular warning sign about 100-200 meters behind the vehicle. 2. Precautions: Experiencing a flat tire while driving is highly dangerous, so it's important to regularly monitor the condition of your tires. Periodically check for tire wear; if the wear reaches the tire's warning indicators, replace the tires as soon as possible. Before driving, check the tire pressure to ensure it is within the normal range, as both overinflation and underinflation can contribute to tire blowouts. If cracks appear on the tire surface, consult a professional technician for remedial measures or to replace the tire.
