Blowing a car tire at high speed on the road can be dangerous. People from e-gumi.com will give you some tips on what to do and what not to do if you find yourself in such a situation.
The most likely cause of a flat tire in motion is stepping on a sharp object and even going through a pothole. Regardless of what caused the flat tire, you should keep calm and follow a few tips.
What should we do if we suddenly burst a tire at a speed of 120 km/h?
Here are our seven tips for stopping your car safely:
1. When you have a flat tire on the move you should stay calm and try to hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands. 2. Do not apply the brake suddenly in any way. 3. Stay in the lane you are driving in until you have control of the vehicle. Do not suddenly cross into the emergency lane until you have slowed down. 4. Depending on whether the car has a manual gearbox, you should gradually shift down to a lower gear, but only when you have fully mastered the car. However, if your car has an automatic transmission, stay in direct gear and do not shift. 5. Do not use the parking brake in this situation. 6. When the car speed drops to 80km/h, you can smoothly press the brake until the car stops. 7. Stop in the emergency lane or off the road, where you will not disturb other road users. Turn on your hazard lights, wear a reflective vest. Place a warning reflective triangle 30m, and for highways not less than 100m in front of the vehicle.
