If you encounter a tyre failure or blowout while driving, remain calm and follow these steps:
Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel and avoid slamming on the brakes.
Gently take your foot off the accelerator and allow the vehicle to slow down gradually.
Once you’ve reduced your speed, carefully steer your vehicle to a safe location, such as a hard shoulder or parking area, away from traffic.
Turn on your hazard lights and call for roadside assistance or change the tyre if you have a spare and it’s safe to do so.
Remember, prioritising your safety and the safety of others on the road is paramount in such situations.
