What should a driver do if the vehicle begins to hydroplane?
A is in heavy rain. An enlarged tire detail illustrates a film of water between the tire and road.
Correct answer: Release the gas, do not brake, steer where you want to go
Why
Hydroplaning occurs when tires lose contact with the road on water. Do not brake; release accelerator pressure and look and steer toward the intended path. Avoid sudden inputs while contact returns.
