What to Do When a Tire Blows Out?
1 Answers
How to handle a tire blowout: 1. Control the steering wheel; when the vehicle starts to veer, avoid overcorrecting. Instead, maintain control of the direction while allowing the vehicle to slow down gradually. 2. Try to keep the vehicle moving straight, then release the accelerator and use gentle braking or no braking at all, waiting for the vehicle to come to a slow stop. 3. Attempt to park the vehicle in a relatively safe location, turn on the hazard lights, and place a warning triangle behind the vehicle. Continuing to drive with a blown-out tire can damage the vehicle's suspension and drivetrain systems, as well as deform the wheel rim. Due to the loss of tire support, the stability of the vehicle body is severely compromised, making it highly prone to traffic accidents.
