Source: https://naijauto.com/safe-driving/5-steps-to-handle-a-tire-burst-while-driving-660 Do not apply your brake pedal during the blowout since it worsens the imbalance of the vehicle. Serious accidents coming from tire bursts recently have triggered the public awareness of dealing tire burst incidents. As reported by FRSC, tire burst ranks as the most feared accident by motorists on the highway since a tire blowout will take the driver off control over their vehicle, especially, if it happens with MUVs or SUVs, it can even flip the vehicles over. ![]() Tire burst ranks as the most feared accident by motorists on the highway Although high technology has been frequently added to improve tire quality, dangers from tire blowout are still there; So it is essential to learn 5 steps you should know to better deal with a tire burst while driving. 1. First step: Adopt a habit of driving with a safe speed The lower the speed is, the higher chance you survive and the less damaging the accident would be. 2. Second step: Do not apply your brake pedal during the blowout This one is tricky as our brains are wired to urge for the brakes when something suddenly astounds us. That said, hard braking seriously worsens the imbalance of the vehicle in the event of tire bursting. ![]() Do not apply your brake pedal during the blowout since it worsens the imbalance of the vehicle 3. Third step: Slowly release the accelerating pedal Don't disengage the accelerator abruptly. In fact, it is recommended that you keep the same force on the accelerator for a short while before gradually releasing it. In case you’re on cruise control, disengage it right away. 4. Fourth step: Make sure your car keep going straight on If your vehicle is pulling to one side, it is critical that you pull the steering to the opposite direction to keep it pointed straight or you may collide with surrouding vehicles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AT2_KQ5wv4 Video: Sudden Tire Blow-Out Safety 5. Fifth step: Keep your composure Don't try to make unnessary control. While the most important thing in this misfortune is to keep balance, an overly sharp yank on the steering wheel may lead to a rollover. 6. Sixth step: Get to the roadside safely Let the vehicle take its course to a halt. You should only apply the brake pedal when your car is going really slowly and almost reach a stop. Signal the turn and get to the roadside. When already being at the roadside, make sure the hazard lights are on to give signs to approaching vehicles to steer away off. ![]() Make sure the hazard lights are on to give signs to approaching vehicles Source: https://naijauto.com/safe-driving/5-steps-to-handle-a-tire-burst-while-driving-660 5 Likes 1 Share |

So many lives have gone because of this unfortunate scenario and the driver's response. It is easier said than done though but when drivers try and apply it, lives are saved. Prevention is still the best saver. Always have good tyres and don't over speed.........Nigerian roads don't deserve speed biko. |

Re: 5 Steps To Handle A Tire Burst While Driving by gabbasin(m): 8:21am On Jul 12, 2018 |
the most important precaution to take is to watch your speed, maintaining a speed limit of 90kph is recommended for cars and SUVs so that in rare case of tyre blown at this speed you will easily be able to manoeuvre the vehicle to a halt. |

Tire is very essential to safe driving. The only thing between you and the road are your tires. Tire condition and maintenance are extremely important in these vehicles, which have a higher risk of rollovers. In fact, if you drive or ride in a 12- to 15-passenger van, we urge you to make certain the van has appropriately sized and load-rated tires that are properly inflated before every trip Don't run the risk of buying a used car with costly hidden problems. Shop with confidence for a car with the our vehicle history that's right for you. Buy With Confidence Your vehicle MAY be involved in a safety recall and MAY create a safety risk for you or your passengers. If left unrepaired, a potential safety defect could lead to injury or even death. Safety defects must be repaired When there are problems with tires, you can rely on us to keep you informed www.nairaland.com/Computerglobal Stay informed.
