The tires begin riding on water and steering feels light. 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.
Correct answer: Ease off the gas and avoid sudden steering or braking.
Why
A smooth speed reduction helps the tires regain pavement contact; sudden control inputs should be avoided.
