A tire exploding when a driver is at a top speed is pretty normal as part of car accidents.
However, what a driver does is what determines the safety of the lives on board.
Here are four tips to consider.
1. First tip:
When a tyre explodes try to stay as calm as possible and hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands.
2. Second tip:
It’s the most important keep your foot off the brakes and don’t push it at all. Don’t even look at the brake pedal, don’t even think about it.
3. Third tip:
Stay on your path and try not to change it or get out of anyone’s way, stay on a path as straight as possible.
4. Fourth tip:
If your car has a manual transmission, gradually change to a lower BUT ONLY do so if you feel that the car is completely under control.
If your car has an automatic transmission, stay in the Drive (D) gear DO NOT change.
