SINOTRUK Company tell you emergency tips for highway tire blowouts!
It’s actually not difficult to drive on the highway, but it’s much more dangerous, why? The most important skill for high speed driving is high speed emergency response ability.
Driving on the highway, regardless of whether there is a car in front of and behind, both hands should hold the direction, do not drive with one hand. High speed due to the tire speed is very high, heat, wear and tear increased, the pressure increases, easy to flat tire. So high-speed driving must always be vigilant about tire blowout accidents.
Once a tire blowout occurs, the correct way to deal with it is: hold the steering wheel with both hands and correct the car’s bias. Keep the vehicle stable forward, let go of the gas pedal, and so on the speed down to 40 kilometers or so, gently hit the direction of the car to the emergency parking belt. Do not brake sharply when you have a flat tire, or you will have a rollover accident. Generally come to the left tire burst, the car will be to the left, this time to turn the direction slightly to the right in order to keep from deviating from the lane. The right tire burst the same direction to the left with a little force.
