Incidents, where tires explode, can cause danger, both to the driver and other road users. Therefore, we are reminded to always take care and monitor the condition of the tires before traveling to avoid any unwanted things.
Even so, if you are in an anxious situation when your car tires explode at a speed of over 100 km / h, here are six tips you need to do shared by Pakistan Drag racing -PDR on Facebook:
- When a tire explodes try to stay as calm as possible and hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands.
- It’s most important to 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.
- 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.
- 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. - Don’t use brakes, the drag from the exploded tire will slow you down.
- When the speed drops to 50 km/h, you can gently press the brakes until the car stops.
