What to Do If a Tire Blows Out While Driving?
1 Answers
Methods for handling a tire blowout while driving: 1. When you realize a tire has blown out, grip the steering wheel firmly with both hands, try to prevent the steering wheel from turning on its own, and strive to keep the car moving straight in its original direction. If the car has already started to turn, avoid overcorrecting, as it is difficult to correct in such situations; 2. While maintaining control of the direction, quickly shift to a lower gear to use the engine's braking effect to slow down the vehicle; 3. Apply the brakes gently to slow down gradually and pull over to the side of the road slowly; 4. Turn on the hazard warning lights promptly and place a warning sign to prevent collisions from vehicles behind; 5. Do not recklessly jerk the steering wheel to change the direction of travel; 6. Avoid slamming on the brakes, as this may cause loss of control or rollover due to loss of balance.
