Road Safety Reminder for the Week
Tire Blowout
If you have a tire blowout, do not panic or overreact. Suddenly braking or abruptly removing your foot from the accelerator can result in a loss of control over the vehicle. Instead, you should take the following steps recommended by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:
- Hold the steering wheel with both hands.
- Maintain your vehicle speed if possible and safe.
- Gradually release the accelerator.
- Correct the steering as necessary to stabilize your vehicle and regain control.
- Look and steer in the direction you want your vehicle to go.
- Once your vehicle has stabilized, continue to slow down and pull off the road where and when it’s safe.
