Hydroplaning

Hydroplaning is dangerous.

much water can build up

under your tires that they can actually ride on the water.

This

can happen if the road is wet enough and you’re

going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning,

has little or no contact with the road.

Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often. But

can if your

tires

not have much tread

if the pressure in one or

more is low. It can happen if a lot of water is standing on

the road. If you can see reflections from trees, telephone

poles

or other vehicles, and raindrops “dimple” the

water’s surface, there could be hydroplaning.

Hydroplaning usually happens at higher speeds. There

just isn’t a hard and fast rule about hydroplaning.

The

best advice is to slow down when

is raining.

Some Other Rainy Weather

Tips

Turn on your low-beam headlamps

not just

your parking lamps

to help make you more

visible to others.

Besides slowing down, allow some extra following

distance. And be especially careful when you pass

another vehicle. Allow yourself more clear room

ahead, and be prepared to have your view restricted

by road spray.

Have good tires with proper tread depth. (See

“Tires” in the Index.)
