Don’t Panic In A Blowout Say State Patrolman
State Highway patrolman Fred Lenz of Brownfield urges calm during blowouts. Do not brake hard. pump brakes gradually and let the car coast to a stop on the road edge. Panic can lock wheels and cause loss of control, especially at speed. Modern tires are blowout resistant when in serviceable condition. Lenz also advises changing slick tires before the fibre shows to avoid tragedy. The article also notes a local meeting of Terry Yoakum County Chapter of The National Foundation studying future projects and aiding birth defects, juvenile arthritis, and polio victims.
