What should a driver do if the tires begin to hydroplane?
The blue car is on a wet road, with a tire-contact detail illustrating water beneath the tire. No steering, braking or acceleration response is selected in the question.
Correct answer: Ease off the gas and avoid sudden braking or steering.
Why
Ease off the accelerator, keep control of the steering, and avoid sudden braking or turning. Let the vehicle slow until the tires regain grip. Reduce speed before reaching standing water and keep tires properly inflated with adequate tread. Do not treat any fixed speed or tire type as proof that hydroplaning cannot occur.
