How to Handle a Tire Blowout While Driving?
1 Answers
Here are the steps to handle a tire blowout while driving: 1. Maintain straight-line driving. If the front tire bursts, the vehicle body will suddenly tilt to one side, and the car's direction may deviate or sway. At this time, the driver should not panic but firmly hold the steering wheel with both hands to keep the car moving straight. 2. Adjust the direction gently. When turning the steering wheel, the movements should be gentle, avoiding repeated sharp turns. 3. Slow down gradually. When decelerating, first release the accelerator while keeping the gear engaged. When the vehicle's posture is under control, downshift step by step and repeatedly apply light brake pressure to bring the car to a slow stop. 4. Turn on the hazard lights. Once the situation stabilizes, activate the turn signal or parking warning light and allow the car to come to a gradual stop.
