Tips On The Wheel:when Tyre Blows out on Speed on the high way.What to and what Not to do.

Start with maintaining a safe driving speed; there are just no two
sides to this. The lower your speed, the higher your chance of
survival. A blowout at 80 - 90 kph will be far less dramatic than one
at 140 - 150 kph. Indeed, if you survive a tire burst at 150 kph,
consider it a gift of God.
Composure is vital. Knowing you have had a blown up tyre yet
trying to stay calm while bringing the car to a controlled stop is
very very helpful.

When running on high speed and a tyre suddenly blows out, avoid your
BRAKES and DONT suddenly turn your STEERING WHEEL out of tension or
fear. Most people will suddenly slam on their brakes (when a tyre
burst, all the weight of the car shifts to that burst thus the car
will tend to dive or dip in that direction plus the inertia might
forcefully steer the car towards or away that burst tyre violently.
slamming on the brakes or suddenly turning the steering wheel Will
result to a total loss of traction on one or more tyres, or violent
sudden shift in car weight and this could result in loss of control or
roll over or a somersault, or violent careering of such car suddenly
off the road ultimately leading to a crash) immediately you experience
a burst tyre, that brake should not be touched although this might not
even come to your mind.

Grip the steering wheel firmly and gradually bring the car to your
intended direction (on a straight line), gradually take your legs off
the accelerator pedal. Keep holding the steering and guiding the
direction of the car till it slows down very well then you can finally
pull over to the shoulder of the road and stop.
In addition, leave your car in gear as it will prevent the car from
rolling freely and with your legs off the throttle it willl help bring
the car to a halt faster.

And lastly, at all times ensure you stick to your vehicle
manufacturer's recommended tyre specification. Also don't run too fast
on roads that you aren't sure of. Maintain equal tyre brands, type and
rating on all wheels, plus don't over or under pump your tyres and
finally don't use bad, expired or substandard or worn out tyres.
