Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often. But it can if your

tires do not have much tread or 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 it is raining.

Driving Through Deep Standing Water

NOTICE:

If you drive too quickly through deep puddles or

standing water, water can come in through your

engine’s air intake and badly damage your

engine. Never drive through water that is slightly

lower than the underbody of your vehicle. If you

can’t avoid deep puddles or standing water, drive

through them very slowly.

Driving Through Flowing Water

CAUTION:

Flowing or rushing water creates strong forces.

If you try to drive through flowing water, as you

might at a low water crossing, your vehicle can be

carried away. As little as six inches of flowing

water can carry away a smaller vehicle. If this

happens, you and the other vehicle occupants

could drown. Don’t ignore police warning signs,

and otherwise be very cautious about trying to

drive through flowing water.

Some Other Rainy Weather Tips

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.
