1 Answers
Solutions for a sudden tire blowout while driving at high speed: 1. Upon realizing the blowout, firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands to prevent it from turning on its own, and strive to keep the vehicle moving straight in its original direction. If the vehicle has already started to veer, avoid overcorrecting; 2. While maintaining control of the direction, quickly shift to a lower gear to utilize the engine's braking effect to slow down the vehicle. Avoid using the brakes to stop the car until speed is under control; 3. Apply gentle brake pressure to slow down gradually and safely pull over to the roadside; 4. Immediately turn on the hazard warning lights and place warning signs to prevent collisions from following vehicles. Remember not to abruptly turn the steering wheel to change direction or slam on the brakes, as this could lead to loss of control or rollover due to imbalance.
