What happens if a rear tire blows out at 100 km/h on the highway?

Here are the possible scenarios when a rear tire blows out at 100 km/h on the highway: 1. A front tire blowout is the most dangerous because the front wheels are responsible for power output, steering control, and the application of most braking force. A front tire blowout severely affects the driver's control of the steering wheel. In such a situation, the driver must firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands, avoid sudden steering movements, and use gentle braking or inertia to slow the vehicle gradually, preventing the tire from separating from the rim. Finally, the driver should slowly move the vehicle out of the traffic lane. 2. A rear tire blowout usually does not immediately alter the vehicle's direction of movement but may create the illusion that the car has become heavier and difficult to move. In this case, simply turn on the hazard lights, gradually adjust the balance between the clutch and throttle to reduce speed, and pull over to the side of the road safely. The fatality rate for vehicle occupants is 100% in tire blowout accidents occurring at speeds above 100 km/h.
