What is the correct sequence when encountering a rear tire blowout while driving a motor vehicle?

[SanGiselle]

When a rear tire blows out, the first step is to firmly grip the steering wheel, then ease off the throttle, downshift, and brake gently. Monitor the traffic behind you through the rearview mirror to avoid rear-end collisions, and safely steer the vehicle out of the traffic lane. After stopping, activate the hazard warning lights, set up warning signs in the direction of oncoming traffic, and quickly move all passengers to a safe location to call for assistance. Below are the functions of car tires: Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle: They bear the vehicle's load and transmit forces and moments in other directions. Transmitting traction and braking torque: They ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to enhance the vehicle's power, braking, and off-road capabilities. Working with the vehicle's suspension to absorb shocks and dampen vibrations caused by driving. Preventing damage to vehicle components: They protect parts from severe vibrations and premature wear, adapt to high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
