Steering on a Tire Blowout
In 2004 I had a blow out on the Freeway in Fort Worth, Texas going about
55 mph. It was the right front tire and I reacted by holding the wheel tightly, removing foot from accelerator, and letting the vehicle slow naturally. I was in the right lane and proceeded about 1/4 mile to next exit. The rim was not damaged but the mud flap was knocked out and there was no other damage. The bus controlled nicely and the experience was low stress by my standards. I've experienced about 6 or 7 high speed blow outs on different vehicles, especially when younger and enjoyed driving fast, and all experiences were similar.
