On a straight wet road, car A begins to hydroplane as water separates the tires from the pavement. What should the driver do?
Blue A travels on a wet road. An enlarged tire detail shows a water layer separating the tire from the road. Labels use the spelling tire.
Correct answer: Ease off the accelerator and keep steering smooth
Why
Ease off the accelerator and avoid hard braking or sharp steering. Keep the car directed along the straight road while it slows and the tires regain contact. Reduce speed before standing water and keep tires in good condition. There is no single speed or water depth at which every vehicle will hydroplane.
