Methods for handling a tire blowout while driving on the highway: 1. Front tire blowout: Firmly grip the steering wheel to adjust the direction of the vehicle, avoid jerking the steering wheel or slamming on the brakes. Once the vehicle slows down, gently steer towards the emergency lane and set up a warning triangle 150 meters behind the vehicle to prevent secondary accidents. 2. Rear tire blowout: The vehicle body will suddenly tilt; slowly release the accelerator, downshift, and bring the car to a gradual stop in the emergency lane, then set up a warning sign. A tire blowout refers to the phenomenon where a tire suddenly loses air due to rupture in a very short time, causing it to go flat. Tire blowouts are one of the frequent accidents during summer, mostly caused by improper tire maintenance by the vehicle owner.
