What to Do When a Car Tire Blows Out?

[McAngelina]

Do not slam on the brakes; instead, gradually reduce speed. Here is relevant information: 1. When a tire suddenly blows out while driving at high speed, it can cause the vehicle to veer to one side. Slamming on the brakes can exacerbate this veering, potentially leading to a rollover. While gradually slowing down, firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands and turn it in the opposite direction of the blown-out tire to maintain straight-line driving. 2. If a tire blows out while driving on a highway, hold the steering wheel firmly, check the rearview mirror, and then move the vehicle to the right, ideally onto the right hard shoulder for safety. Note: Do not occupy the far-left overtaking lane, as it poses a higher risk.
