I am glad I never had that happen and I don't wish it on no one, it can be very dangerous.  I am glad you are ok and no one was hurt.

I, too, am glad you got through that without being injured or injuring anyone else.  I would probably still be shaking if that happened to me.

Wow, two tires at once. That never happened to me, but I have had a blowout from my left front tire once. I was doing about 65 mph and I heard this funny noise. I pulled over and the left front tire was blown. Strangely enough, my car never swayed. That I was glad for.

You are blessed, because it could have been far worse.  I am glad you are okay.  Maybe you ran over something in the road.  Nobody hit you and you didn't hit anybody?  You were fortunate. :o :o :o :o :wave:

Oh my goodness - you certainly had angels watching over you today.  That would be very scary.  Since we've been living at here in this tiny community we've heard 2 tires blow on semi-trucks.  It is the loudest blow I've ever heard.  First time it happened it seemed like an all day thing for the driver to get it repaired and go about his business.  Second time it happened I don't think the guy even bothered stopping to check on it.  I for one would be a nervous wreck driving with a blown tire.

I'nm so glad you made it through safely. What a scary experience. It must have taken ten years off your life. I know it would have done that to me.

That sounds scary,hate when you have car trouble.a few weeks ago the car was shaking at red lights a lot.I had to put it in park at a red light which helped .luckily I wasn't far from home at a stop sign agin shaking and it had trouble going thought it would die. Turned out it was a broken belt of some kind and we fixed it but scary when the car shakes bad car.

When my tires blew out it was right next to an interstate exit. I think Angels watch over us when these things happen.  :thumbsup:

Wow.  What happened to make them both go at the same time?  Glad you weren't hurt and no one else was hurt.  I would have had to have somebody else drive me on home. lol

      Do not forget to turn on your emergency blinkers on... to let others know you are having some type of vehicle safety problem.

So glad you are ok. That must have been terrifying.  Must have been something that you ran over to make two go at once.

Wow thank goodness you are alright.  That sounds like a harrowing experience.  It sounds miraculous that no one hit you and you managed not to hit anyone.  Glad to hear you escaped unscathed.  One blow out would have been bad enough but two is horrible.

Very scary when something like that happens when you are driving. And 2 tires at that... thats very weird. Glad everyone is ok :) 2 weeks my windshield wipers completely stopped working in mid motion during a torrential rain storm.... luckyily noe was behind because I'm sure I was all over the place! I had to stick my head out of the widow and somehow managed to pull over and wait out the storm....  u always gotta prepare for the unexpected when u r drivng  :o

You had angels watching over you.  :angel11:  Two tires blowing out would scare me. You were fortunate to not get hit by another driver. I've had one tire blow out and it was a loud boom.
