Correction pls!! bursted Tyre can never allow the car to move straight.. telling us not to steer the wheel is not necessary coz it steer on its own..have experienced that when I was at the back of a truck

I think this teaching should be : don't apply brakes, then hold the steering very firmly!

Keeping calm is one of the most difficult things to do in this situation. But it helps one to think better.

What do you do if a car had burst tires close to you?
I experienced the above today. The driver of my bus simply slow down and the SUV with bursted wheel speed was enough to overtake us, giving the driver adequate space to determine what to do.
Come again.

My first & ONLY instinct is to march my brake SOLIDLY.

If you dare try that, your matter will go from story for the gods to "meeting with the gods."

In theory this might work, but 95% of the time na to march break as hard as possible due to panic and to avoid collision up front.

Sometimes when your tyre bursts and you’re on high speed, the first instinct in your mind will be to panic and apply brake. But this can be really dangerous.

So train your mind to be calm in such a situation and try the following steps;


1. Don’t panic

2. Don’t apply brake; you’ll tumble

3. Switch your hazard lights on

4. Release the accelerator gradually

5. Keep car going straight; don’t steer

6. Let car gradually stop; don’t match brake!

Only an abnormal person will overspeed on a congested or semi congested road, so all these questions of what to do when there is a vehicle(s) or traffic closely ahead of you doesn't make sense to me.
In an event where the urge to accelerate is great, calculate the possibilities and look at the vehicular flow, and only only drive at high speed on a road you are well conversant with and ONLY when there is an emergency that warrants such risk!
I never buy my own car sha

If you’re on the fast lane; you should remain there abi? Don’t apply break even if a car suddenly stops in front of you?

Good direction,..but we know that while on the highway any unusual sound or movement within your visual field,you apply brakes on impulse/reflex.


The best suggestion remains observing all safety protocols and maintenance for your cars and parts. Most importantly avoid the urge to overspeed once on the smooth highway!

No u don't step on the break. Just take your foot off the accelerator. And hold on to the steering. Your life really depends on that.

if it's automatic, the car won't stop.

once it slows down, you gently apply your brake lightly and park safely.

no go stop for middle of road o!

I am talking out of experience, as a driver.

Well here experience comes to play.
Keep calm and Target the angle 90 of a rear car in front of you and bang.

Why this? That portion of a vehicle body is reinforced.
2 hitting one side of the body is cost effective than slamming directly at the booth wc will cause both traffic light to break.
Heheheh that na double expense or 3 expense.
The booth will be damaged , right traficator will be damaged and 3 left trafficator will be damaged. Do not want to add broken rear windshield.

Bests solution don't speed in traffic!

I don't exceed 45km in all occasions. If I am carrying my wife or family, na between 35 to 40km I dey drive even on weekends for third mainland bridge. There is no hurry. I left Island this morning and the bridge was so free.

I just maintained my 40km, wound down my windscreen to enjoy better sea breeze with my sound system giving me better vibes. No hurry in life abeg. Slow, steady and focused, you will get to your destination in all situations.
