What To Do If Your Tyre Bursts While On Top Speed by WiszyFraud: 9:17pm On Apr 12, 2021
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!

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.

Yea. On no account should you opt for the brake until it finally stops.

If you have alcoholic drink in your car, take sips while waiting for the car to come to a stop.

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!

NEVER ever brake if this happens.

Just "pilot" the car safely to slow speed then manoeuvre to park.

No brake till less than 55 km/h.

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

Ok.

Every one with his own opinion, including bluefilm who says he will go for the brakes.



Mine opinion is this:

Don't engage yourself on over speeding.
