wandium: Thank you so much for sharing this sir. I have never thought about the putting the gear to NEUTRAL, before piloting to a soft stop. I happen to be travelling from Ogba in Lagos to ilaro, Ogun state sometime in June last year. I was driving at 80km/ph on papalanto road, inward ilaro when suddenly, the rear right tyre bursted. I was the only one in the car, and all I could remember was allowing the slow down a bit, before softly applying the brake. I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING THE GEAR TO NEUTRAL. I believe your say on shifting to NEUTRAL, before piloting to a final stop. Thanks for sharing, sir. |

This has actually happened to me on the highway, driving at 140km/h, didn't panic just released my throttle slowly until the car stopped, front number was condemned though. |

Keep the car going straight, don't steer? What if there's a bending or slite corner? |

bluefilm:Depending on your speed: 1. You may lose control of the vehicle 2. End up in a ditch or whatever is on the side of the road. 3. Collide with a barrier or an oncoming vehicle 4. Flip you car 5. End up dead. Don't touch the brakes. |

Mrtaye: If you read correctly, I raised 2 issues; steering and brake application. What if a car stops abruptly in front of you? What if you are on the fast lane? Do you want to remain there until the car comes to a halt on its on? The opinion raised by the OP are not realistic. What would have made sense is; if you have to steer, do so gently and if you need to apply breaks, do so gently. I have been in a vehicle where a full tyre pulled off on high speed. Luckily I was in front of the vehicle and immediately held the steering wheel when the driver freaked out and started steering violently. |

Mightyhaiz: It has happened to me twice...Once in Jos and once along my route to osogbo from ife...same car on both occasions and was on moderate speed.. Funny enough, I didn't really panic on both occasions, didn't apply brake and the car gradually came to a stop... Glory be to God.. Always try to physically inspect your tyres Don't put much pressure in your tyres. Don't go above the recommended tyre pressure for your car. Too much air can cause tyres to burst in motion. I heard it's good to rotate your tyres once in a while.. I don't do this but it might be worth trying as experts said it's a good one for tyres to last longer... Drive Safely! |
