Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
A vehicle begins to hydroplane. What should the driver do?
Blue A is on a wet road. An enlarged tire-contact detail shows a water film between the tire and road. The detail has a separate scale.
Correct answer: Ease off the gas; do not brake hard.
Why
Gentle inputs allow the tires to regain contact with the pavement without demanding more traction than is available.
