1 Answers
Solutions for a tire blowout on the highway: 1. Front tire blowout: Firmly grip the steering wheel to adjust the car's direction, avoid jerking the steering wheel or slamming on the brakes. Wait until the vehicle slows down before gently steering to pull over to the emergency lane. Place a warning triangle 150 meters behind the car to prevent secondary accidents. 2. Rear tire blowout: The car body will suddenly tilt towards the side of the blown-out tire. Gradually release the accelerator, downshift, and slowly bring the car to a stop in the emergency lane, then set up a warning sign. A tire blowout refers to the phenomenon where a tire rapidly loses air due to a sudden rupture, causing it to go flat. Tire blowouts are one of the frequent accidents in summer, mostly caused by improper tire maintenance by car owners.
