Incorrect emergency measures when a tire suddenly bursts while driving include: 1. Not remaining calm. 2. Failing to hold the steering wheel properly and not maintaining control of the vehicle in a straight line. 3. Not applying emergency braking to stop the vehicle in the shortest possible time. 4. Not waiting for the speed to decrease before pressing the pedal. Measures to prevent tire blowouts include: 1. Not using retreaded tires: All wheels of highway buses and tourist coaches, as well as the steering wheels of other road transport vehicles, must not be fitted with retreaded tires. 2. Maintaining good driving habits: Drivers should maintain good driving habits, drive lawfully, and strictly avoid overloading, overcapacity, and speeding. 3. Installing a TPMS system: Install a tire pressure monitoring device (TPMS system) that complies with relevant standards to monitor tire pressure and temperature in real-time.
I once experienced a tire blowout while driving. At that time, I was so nervous that I slammed on the brakes, causing the car to nearly lose control and skid toward the roadside. Incorrect emergency measures include slamming on the brakes, which can lock the wheels and make it easier to roll over or crash; another mistake is jerking the steering wheel to quickly correct direction, but this can cause skidding or even rollover due to unstable vehicle body; another error is panicking and stopping directly in the middle of the road without turning on the hazard lights, which increases the risk of being rear-ended. These actions are all due to momentary panic and lack of control. In fact, when a tire blows out, you should try to ease off the accelerator, hold the steering wheel firmly to make minor adjustments, and gradually slow down to pull over to a safe spot. Remember, staying calm is the most crucial thing, and developing a habit of checking your tires regularly can prevent many accidents.
