What about a Sudden Tire Burst?

Many owners have seen traffic accidents caused by tire bursts on TV or news. This is not a alarmism, but it really exists. And we must not think that this kind of thing is far away from ourselves. In fact, hidden dangers exist around us. Therefore, we must take corresponding measures no matter when and where. So how to deal with a sudden tire burst? 

1. Don't panic in the face of danger.

When a sudden tire burst, you may not know whether the front or rear wheels burst, but it doesn't matter, because when the car bursts, the first thing you need to do is to calm down. I know this is difficult. After all, everyone will panic when facing an emergency, but you must do your best to stabilize your emotions. The stability of a car can be extremely poor due to a sudden tire burst, and the car will deviate from the track if it is not noticed. And then what you need to do at that time is to keep the car as straight as possible. No matter how difficult it is, you must stick to it and don't let it deviate from the route. 

2. Slowly drive the car to a safe place.

When reducing the speed, do not slam on the brake, because the braking ability of the car is much worse than that of the ordinary car after the tire burst. So if you slam on the brake, the car is likely to deviate in the reverse direction, and you will face greater danger at that time. You should use a little brake to slow down the car. Of course, when slowing down the car, turn on the turn signal and drive the car slowly to a safe place. 

After parking, a warning triangle should be placed 150 meters away from the back of the car to warn other vehicles to drive carefully and avoid rear end collision. If you have spare tires in your trunk, you can choose to replace them by yourself. But if you don't have such equipment in the trunk, the best way is to wait for rescue.

3. Take preventive measures.

Check your tires more often. If there are any debris in the tires, it's better to clean them up in time, especially the small stones in the tire seams. These small stones that have not been cleaned up in time are often the main culprit of the tire blowout. After rubbing on the ground, these small stones will quickly heat up, which will cause the tire surface to heat up. When the temperature reaches a certain value, the tire will burst. Therefore, you must do a good job in daily cleaning. 

With the improvement of driver's safety awareness, tire pressure monitor system is becoming more and more popular. TPMS is a kind of monitoring system which is used to monitor the blind area of view - tire pressure and temperature. It is the third largest automotive safety system after ABS and airbags.
