So yesterday, there I am minding my own damn business when a semi in the middle lane blows out a tire right in front of me, making my choices: Left side wall, right side trailer, or hard brake in freeway traffic.
First question: I've never been/ or seen a blowout tire actually hit before. Is that anything like an accident where you're supposed to stop? Did I screw myself by pulling off at the next ramp and not following the truck or anything?
So the truck is the sport with plastic bumper and parksense in front, the tire debris took some small gouges out of the plastic and left some scuffs. It also knocked the middle drivers side park sensor out. I never really looked at them before, but the neat little hole where it was makes me think that they must just glue to the back of the bumper or something? I haven't been able to get a close look or underneath yet because it was after dark last night/ snowing and working today.
Anybody have any insight on how easy or expensive fixing this is going to be? Thanks.
