      • However strongly instincts might be directing you to step over brakes, do not step over brakes. It is the worst mistake anyone can make. Application of brakes will only increase imbalance over stability of vehicle.

      • As soon as you hear your tyre burst, just take control over your steering as it is the key to gaining control over your vehicle and keeping it stable. Check for the most suitable direction for halting near you and slowly steer your car towards it.

      • Last but not the least, never forget, whichever tyre bursts whether the front one or rear one, the above given guidelines remain same for all. The only difference between the two is that in case of front tyre you feel the force most intensely then in case of rear one.
