How should a driver respond when partial hydroplaning causes a skid?
An east-facing blue car is fully inside its lane on a wet road. A separate enlarged tyre detail shows water under part of the tread and a remaining patch touching the road. No steering correction or skid direction is prescribed.
Correct answer: Use smooth steering and speed control suited to the direction of the skid.
Why
Abrupt braking or steering can reduce the limited tire grip that remains on a wet surface.
