WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE A TYRE BLOWOUT
In the event of the unfortunate death of Nigeria's minister of
state for labour due to an accident occasioned by a Tyre blowout and the
fact that in Nigeria now-a-days, we have many untrained drivers, it has
become pertinent for me 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.
(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 sheering wheel and put your
eyes on the road.
(5) After a while depending on your initial speed, your car
come to a speed less than 60km/h when it is now safe to GRADUALLY apply
the brakes and navigate to the side walk
(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 untimely death.
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.
Please, don't just read share on your page and copy to other
platforms, you may just be about to save a life. I pray the Lord
continue to keep us safe as we use the road in Jesus name.
