Tire Blowout? Handle it !

There are many cases of accidents happened in Malaysia esspecially during celebration of certain festivals. Some are because of the carelessness of drivers, some are because of drunk driver, and some are because of tire blowout and brake faulty.

Once tire blowout,try to hold our steeling in a straight course. Slowly let up off the gas pedal to gradually decrease the speed. Remember do not stop quickly after a blowout as it will increase the chances of losing control. After that, turn on signal and drift toward the side of the road slowly and park your car and turn on its hazard lights to alert passing traffic. If we do change the tire, it is better to have a passenger to keep a close watch on traffic to provide us some protection so that the passing traffic would aware of our extra warning and reduce tragedy from happening.
