Who to Call for Help When a Car Tire Blows Out on the Road?
2 Answers
You can call the 4S store for rescue. If the distance is far, you can request assistance from a professional car rescue agency. 1. Preventing tire blowouts: As temperatures rise, the likelihood of a tire blowout increases. Therefore, it is essential to check the tire pressure beforehand, fasten the seatbelt, and drive cautiously. Not only should tire pressure be carefully monitored, but tire temperature should also not be overlooked, especially during hot weather in summer or during long drives. 2. Handling a tire blowout: (1) When it is determined that the front tire has blown out: First, firmly grip the steering wheel, remember not to adjust the direction abruptly, wait until the direction stabilizes, then gradually apply the brakes to slow down the vehicle, gently steer the wheel to pull over, and set up a triangular warning sign approximately 100-200 meters behind the car. (2) When the rear tire blows out: The vehicle's tendency to veer off course will be less pronounced. In this case, ease off the accelerator, gently apply the brakes, maintain control of the steering, slowly pull over to the side, and set up a triangular warning sign approximately 100-200 meters behind the car.
I remember a while ago when I was driving on the highway, I suddenly had a tire blowout. I panicked at the moment, but I quickly controlled the steering wheel and slowly pulled over to the shoulder to stop safely, turning on the hazard lights and setting up the triangular warning sign. Then I called my insurance company to request roadside assistance. They located my position and sent a professional technician to replace the spare tire in about half an hour. I always remind my friends that if they encounter a tire blowout on the highway, they shouldn’t slam on the brakes—keeping the car steady and stopping slowly is more important. For prevention, checking tire pressure and wear condition monthly can avoid such incidents. When seeking help, prioritize roadside assistance or repair shops as they have the experience to ensure safety. Keeping an emergency kit in the car, including gloves and lighting tools, is also useful. Next time before a blowout, pay more attention to road conditions.
