The vehicle begins to hydroplane on standing water. What should the driver 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. Opposing traffic lanes have two solid yellow lines.
Correct answer: Ease off the gas and keep the wheel straight.
Why
Reducing speed demand gradually helps the tires reconnect with the road without provoking a skid.
