In the event of a sudden tire blowout while driving at high speed, the following measures should be taken: 1. Avoid slamming on the brakes; instead, decelerate gradually: because a sudden blowout at high speed can cause the vehicle to veer sideways, and hard braking can exacerbate this veering, potentially leading to a rollover. 2. Firmly grip the steering wheel: Hold the steering wheel tightly with both hands and turn it in the opposite direction of the blown-out tire to maintain the vehicle's straight-line movement. 3. Move into the emergency stopping lane: Once the vehicle is stabilized, immediately guide it into the emergency stopping lane. 4. Replace the spare tire: After safely parking the vehicle in the emergency stopping lane, quickly place a warning sign 200 meters away, open the trunk, and retrieve the tire-changing tools and spare tire.
