Class A Tire Blow and Roll-over
I am sure this is old and has been posted before but made me wonder.... How much did the driver's actions play into the final outcome? Link to YouTube video

I wonder what a slower speed in this instance would have had on the final outcome? I wonder if 10 mph less, 20 mph less would have even made a difference?
For me, and not so much for safety, I drive about 5 -1 0 mph less than the posted limited on the interstate when on the Coach. I like to set my cruise control and just drive. At those speeds I typically do not run up on any traffic and everyone passes me. I get better fuel milage and just not in a hurry....
If, immediately after a blowout, the driver fails to use the onboard mechanical and hydraulic advantage in order to maintain control of his vehicle, then plus or minus 10 mph from speed limit will NOT matter,....he's going to end up in the grass, either way. At either speed, once you are on the grass, you might as well be a passenger.
