Texas Adult Drivers Education – Tire Blowout Example From Dallas Fort Worth Video Lecture | Drivers Education of America: Overview - Personal Skills

another threat to drivers is if your
tire blows out and this is such a
preventable situation one please keep
very good tires on your vehicle I know
when money is tight that's one of the
things we tend to let go but keeping
good traction and good tires on your
vehicle is really a great way to keep
safety eliminate what could be a very
very tragic accident the other thing
that could cause your tire to blow out
is by simply hitting a curb or something
sharp in the road that would cause your
tire to suddenly deflate or blow out and
if your tire does blow out what you want
to do is steer firmly grab that steering
wheel hold it tight then take your foot
off the gas and brake cautiously do not
slam on the brakes because think about
it you've got four tires on the car two
tires on one side are going to be
healthy the tires on the other side one
of them is going to be blown out
slamming on the brakes will have a
tendency to pull the car at an angle
which is exactly what you don't want
when you hit the brakes in your car you
always want the car to be stopping
straight in other words you've got even
braking going on so again if you have a
blowout grip the steering wheel firmly
take your foot off the gas and gently
press on the brakes until the car comes
to a stop
