What To Do When You Have A Tyre Blowout by froz(m): 11:56am On Aug 04, 2017
The event of the unfortunate death of Nigeria’s Minister of State for Labour was due to an accident occasioned by a tyre blowout; the fact that in Nigeria nowadays we have many untrained drivers, it has become pertinent for us to write this.


There are 6 simple steps to take within a maximum of 2 minutes and you will be safe, these by the grace of God I have been familiar with for decades. They are as follow:

(1) DON’T PANIC in the event of a blowout, calm yourself down fast because your car will start misbehaving and you need to take charge.

(2) Hold FIRMLY to your steering wheel with both hand, NO VIGOROUS TURNING, as you concentrate on the road and your mirrors, in seconds study the movement pattern of the car. Your car will naturally swerve to the direction of the burst tyre.

1-2-min-300x300

(3) Gradually take off your foot from the accelerator, DON’T EVER ATTEMPT TO PRESS THE BRAKES, IF YOU DO, YOU HAVE A 95% CHANCE OF A SOMERSAULT. The car will decelerate gradually while you concentrate on the road to avoid collision with any other road user.

(4) Disengage the gears of the car by shifting to neutral (N) as you still maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel and put your eyes on the road.

5-1-min-300x300

(5) After a while depending on your initial speed, your car comes to a speed less than 60km/h when it is now safe to GRADUALLY apply the brakes and navigate to the sidewalk

(6) Ultimately, it is now safe to put the car to a complete stop and turn off the engine. You have just saved yourself and passengers from an untimely death.

6-min-300x300

NOTE:
Of course, everyone in the car will be in a panic mode BUT this is NOT THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THEM, it is TIME TO CONCENTRATE.

If you have a blow out at low speed all your statement is ok

If you have blown out tire at high speed 100km/h plus, the story is different as only God will determine the outcome also depending on the tire location and i prefer you lift your leg from the accelerator and maintain gear in drive not neutral so engine braking will take effect immediately, driving in neutral disengages engine braking now imagine going down a slope

Re: What To Do When You Have A Tyre Blowout by otabuko(m): 7:07am On Aug 05, 2017
All these points na format, if you encounter a tire blowout on a speed of 80 and above, somersault would be your case. The only thing you'd remember at that time is the blood of Jesus as you somersault to the bush area. Drive carefully, monitor your tire every now and then. To avoid these advises that are somewhat immaterial. I witnessed one.

I also noticed that using tubeless tires are safer than tubes in times of tire blow out . Tubes are more likely to cause a summersault.

Try explaining to the Nigerian police that your moves are not suspicious, have you not heard that nigerian police shoots people for just wearing dreadlocks (dada) did you not also hear that a soldier shot an okada rider for not stopping to pick him up? which nigeria are you living in? the Nigeria in the moon? have you ever driven a benz SUV 2015 AMG in nigeria?

The best bet is to avoid over speeding...once that is prevented...you are good...I hardly go above 100 no matter what.
Re: What To Do When You Have A Tyre Blowout by bodejohn(m): 8:10am On Aug 05, 2017
Seriously...at speeds greater than 80km/hr with a tyre blow out in a SUV....na only God and seatbelts sure pass.

Forget all these espistles...everything gets done with in less than 5secs.
