How to Handle a High-Speed Tire Blowout in a Car?
1 Answers
Handling methods for a high-speed tire blowout in a car are as follows: 1. Stay calm and handle the situation: Use engine braking to allow the car to coast slowly. Do not suddenly release the accelerator pedal; instead, gradually ease off the accelerator. Avoid stepping on the brake pedal, as this can further destabilize the car. Do not jerk the steering wheel; instead, use intermittent braking by rhythmically pressing and releasing the brake pedal. 2. Parking the vehicle: Try to pull over to the emergency lane. Once the car has come to a complete stop, turn on the hazard lights and place the triangular warning sign 150 meters away from the car in the direction of oncoming traffic. Do not stay in the emergency lane or inside the car; move to a safe area outside the guardrail and wait for assistance. 3. Placement of the warning sign: Ensure the triangular warning sign is not placed too close to the car, as this can lead to accidents. Do not use any other objects as a substitute for the warning sign, as this may be considered illegal parking on the highway, resulting in penalty points and fines.
