• For any driver, there is nothing more terrifying,
  threatening or dangerous than a tire blowout at
  almost any speed.

• In order to curb the incidents of tire blowouts,
  it is extremely imperative to have an automatic
  tire pressure monitoring system in all new
  vehicles.

• Though the number of tire blowout accidents has
  dropped significantly over the past few years,
  then why they are still such a significant safety
  issue?

Lets talk about this in the next slide

WHY TIRE BLOWOUTS ARE STILL SUCH A SIGNIFICANT
AND NEGLECTED SAFETY ISSUE?

• Blowouts are now a rare occurrence

• Since they are less frequent now, people are less
  prepared to handle them and to react properly.

• When a tire blows out, it becomes difficult for
  the driver to maintain the momentum.

• It takes about a quarter of a second before your
  ride transforms into an extreme struggle to avoid
  a mishap.

• How you react and handle the situation makes all
  the difference in how the situation comes about.

BLOWOUT

1. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

• Check the pressure of the tire and of the spare
  one, once a month when the tires are cold.

• Keep the tires in use and the spare ones properly
  inflated, and balance, align and rotate them from
  time to time.

• When the tire is worn down to 2/32 of an inch,
  it's an indication to replace them in order to
  avoid the blow out.

  trouble, hold the steering wheel tightly with

3. ADJUST YOUR SPEED

• If you are sensing some kind of tire trouble,
  don't just slam down on the brakes

  order to stabilize the vehicle, and then slowly
  release the accelerator.

4. STEER STRAIGHT

• Keep driving straight and try to keep the vehicle
  on its path.

  increase the chances of spinouts, especially if a
  rear tire has blown out.
