How Should a Driver Handle a Rear Tire Blowout?
1 Answers
Hold the steering wheel firmly, correct the direction, and stop smoothly or use engine braking to decelerate. Apply intermittent braking as appropriate to allow the vehicle to slow down optimally while moving. In the event of a tire blowout causing the vehicle to veer, avoid slamming on the brakes. Instead, moderately correct the direction while applying intermittent braking until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Daily checks to prevent tire blowouts: 1. Wear condition: Check if the tire has reached the wear indicator. 2. Tire pressure: Check the pressure at least every two months. 3. Damage: Regularly inspect the tires for any damage. 4. Alignment check: Periodically perform a four-wheel alignment check on the vehicle.
