How to Respond When the Tire of Your Motor Vehicle Suddenly Bursts?
1 Answers
Firmly grip the steering wheel and come to a smooth stop as quickly as possible. In the event of a sudden tire blowout while driving, hold the steering wheel tightly with both hands to maintain control of the direction, release the accelerator pedal, continue driving along the intended path, and then apply the brake pedal intermittently with force to decelerate until coming to a smooth stop. Avoid jerking the steering wheel or applying emergency brakes at the moment of the blowout, as this can easily cause the vehicle to skid or overturn. Solutions are as follows: 1. Maintain a safe driving speed: Keep a safe speed on highways and be vigilant about reducing speed when driving too fast. The probability of a tire blowout at 80-90 km/h is significantly lower than at 140-150 km/h. 2. Do not press the brake pedal: Many people mistakenly believe that pressing the brake pedal is an emergency measure. Emergency braking can further destabilize the vehicle, which is the worst scenario. Therefore, avoid pressing the brake pedal during a tire blowout. 3. Do not abruptly remove your foot from the accelerator: Gradually and slowly release the accelerator. It is recommended to maintain the throttle input momentarily and then slowly release it. The deceleration force from a blowout is strong, and the vehicle will still slow down rapidly.
