Imagine, Professor, saying, "nothing requires assessment." This is exactly what I told the driver 1500 or so, that teaches you to safely handle tire blowout.
Blowing tires can be scary and a tendency to do something can be tough, but practice makes perfect, so we put our students to study. To create a blowout, we mounted behind the tires. From behind the wheel of the student sitting next to me, we went for the cause of the blowout.
If the driver drove straight to his belt and did nothing but allow dragging deflated the tyres of the vehicle to slow down to less than 30 km/h, won the class "B"
We did the show in nearly every type of vehicle, including SUVs, minivans and 18-wheelers. No one ever lost control.
We also tread separations, which are probably more dangerous, because the tires didn't immediately sit down and slowing down. Tread separation is when the steel sharply strengthened "belt package" departs. Picture of giant, steel-reinforced weed whacker. Often waving tread break from door handles and mirrors. At least once, quickly spinning steel bar and rubber wheel well penetrated demonstration vehicle.
You'll get no class, if you can turn the steering wheel in even a little after a blowout or tread separation. This is especially true if you turn on the rear tire failed. (Many real "Fs" are given for those who are trying to get to the right arm, the left rear blows). A slight rotation will cause the vehicle to spin faster than you can say, "Oh, fudge," (or similar)-I know. You have selected to always deliberately misspelled blowout videos and testing. (My review results contains the minimum number of times to say, "Hey, y'all watch this.")
For "", you need to act counter-intuitively: press the gas pedal for a brief moment after the blowout. Due to resistance of the tyres even Ferrari on a high gear not to gain speed. Pressing gas pedal does two things. First, it stabilizes the vehicle at the waist. More importantly blocks your mind and prevents the inclusion or stop trying to save this article. At that time, the organic computer ("working, please wait.") gains access to the answers you will have slowed down nearly enough to ease safely out of the way. (In contrast to the track, where Burnout is often the corners, often tires blow on long trips, on straight stretches of the highway.)
The best way to avoid a blowout is to keep up the pressure in the tires. Check your tire pressure once a month. Set the pressure at least recommended by the vehicle manufacturer: see signs on the door jamb. Three or even five pounds per square inch (psi) high is better than one psi low.
In order to correctly handle a blowout, do the British advice from: keep calm and carry on.
