A flat tire on a busy Houston freeway is one of the more dangerous situations a driver can face. Here's how to handle it safely.
If a tire blows at highway speed, hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands and keep the car straight. Don't brake suddenly — ease off the accelerator and let the car slow gradually before gently steering toward the shoulder.
Pull onto the right shoulder and get as far from traffic as you safely can. On Houston freeways, traffic moves fast and shoulders can be narrow, so distance from passing vehicles matters. Turn on hazard lights immediately.
This is the most important rule on a freeway. If traffic is heavy and fast, the safest place is inside your vehicle with your seatbelt fastened. Many serious roadside injuries happen when people stand outside near traffic. Call for help and wait safely.
Rather than risk changing a tire feet from speeding traffic, call a service that comes to you. Houston Mobile Tire responds to highway calls 24/7 across I-10, I-45, US-59/I-69, Beltway 8, and the Grand Parkway, and we'll handle the tire while you stay safe.
