What to Do When Encountering Emergency Situations While Driving?
1 Answers
Here are the methods to handle emergency situations while driving: 1. Sudden tire blowout: If the front tire suddenly blows out while driving, the car will immediately veer to the side of the blown tire. At this point, use both hands to control the steering direction with full effort, release the accelerator pedal to ensure the vehicle slowly moves to the roadside, decelerates smoothly, and utilizes the engine's drag resistance to bring it to a stop. 2. Sudden loss of steering control: In case of sudden loss of steering control, immediately downshift to reduce speed, and use the handbrake gently or apply the foot brake intermittently (pump braking) to bring the car to a stop as quickly as possible. When using the foot brake, avoid excessive force to prevent skidding and causing greater danger. Meanwhile, regardless of whether the steering system is effective or not, try to steer the wheel towards the roadside or natural obstacles like trees to safely pull over and escape the danger.
