What to Do When a Car Tire Bursts?
1 Answers
When a car tire bursts, firmly grip the steering wheel and do nothing until the vehicle stabilizes, then brake slowly and move away from the main road. Below is a detailed introduction to handling a car tire burst: 1. Front tire burst: Since the front tires are crucial for steering, a burst will significantly affect the car's direction. Therefore, the first action when a front tire bursts is to grip the steering wheel tightly, stabilize the vehicle, then brake slowly and move away from the main road. During this process, avoid repeatedly jerking the steering wheel and refrain from slamming on the brakes. After stopping, place a warning triangle behind the vehicle to prevent secondary accidents. 2. Rear tire burst: Hold the steering wheel firmly and then press the brake pedal repeatedly in a pumping motion. This shifts the car's center of gravity forward, allowing the intact front tires to bear the load and reducing the pressure on the burst rear tire.
