What to Do When a Tire Suddenly Blows Out on the Highway?
1 Answers
The solution to a sudden tire blowout on the highway is as follows: After a tire blowout, move the vehicle to the right side near the hard shoulder, turn on the hazard warning lights, place a triangular warning sign more than 150 meters behind the vehicle, call the police for assistance, and you can also contact your insurance company for help. Below is relevant information: 1. Maintain a safe driving speed: Keep a safe speed on the highway, and be sure to reduce speed when driving too fast. The probability of a tire blowout at 80–90 km/h is much lower than at 140–150 km/h. 2. Do not step on the brake pedal: Many people think stepping on the brake pedal is an emergency measure. In reality, braking further destabilizes the vehicle, which is the worst thing to do. So, remember not to step on the brake pedal.
