I need Expert advice on this considering too many accidents caused by tire bursts in our roads nowadays. Let's assume a driver was moving at 40km/h and his tire bursts, would his car still summersault if he apply breaks. Professional answers only pls.

GAZZUZZ:


about 65km/hr max. It also depends on the height of the vehicle.

Thanks

Those somersaults occur when the driver slams the brakes.

To me the issue is not the speed at which the brakes are engaged.

What matters is the way the brake is engaged and the throttle pedal is disengaged.

Think of the laws of physics here!

Newton's first law of motion: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force aka the law of inertia

Newton's second law of motion: The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.

Newton's third law of motion: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Try it in a video game, a realistic video game. Or try it in a lonely road without anyone around.

Speed it to say 100, then slam the brakes with full force, you will notice that the car with attempt to turn around.

Next thing that happens is the driver is shocked, the braking should slow down the car, but it isn't, the car is now turning around, so he over-corrects, further creating more turbulence in and around the car.

Add to that the inherent instability of 3 good tires and 1 bad one.

That is what many people do and do not live to tell the tell the story.

Give the brake gentle input and also disengage the throttle little by little, not all at once, or all at a go, so you can still control the vehicle.

Then all things being equal, you will live to tell the story.

Which is why the worst wrong to do is to panic!

Most people would never try in real-life certain maneuvers if they tried them out in a realistic car racing game and took note of the outcomes. That such maneuvers will certainly destroy life and limb and property.
