When you realize a tire has blown out, grip the steering wheel firmly with both hands, try to prevent the 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 veer, avoid overcorrecting, as it is often difficult to correct effectively. Here is more relevant information: 1. Solutions for a sudden blowout: While maintaining control of the direction, quickly shift to a lower gear to use the engine's braking effect to slow the vehicle. Do not use the brakes to stop the car before the engine's braking effect has managed to control the speed, as this could cause the vehicle to skid sideways or even roll over. Apply the brakes gently to slow down gradually, then pull over to the side of the road slowly. Turn on the hazard lights immediately and place a warning sign to prevent collisions from following vehicles. Avoid making sudden steering adjustments to change direction. Do not slam on the brakes, as this may cause loss of control or a rollover due to loss of balance. 2. Causes of tire blowouts: Tire leaks—when a tire is punctured by a nail or other sharp object but not immediately ruptured, air may slowly escape, eventually leading to a blowout. Overinflated tires—when driving at high speeds, the temperature of the tires rises, increasing the air pressure and causing the tires to deform. This reduces the elasticity of the tire body and increases the dynamic load on the car, which can lead to internal cracks or blowouts upon impact. This is also why blowout accidents are more common in summer.
