Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
Your tires begin to ride on water and steering feels light. What should you do first?
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 and keep the wheel straight
Why
Gentle inputs let the tires regain contact; sudden braking or steering can turn the loss of traction into a skid.
