{CAUTION:

Wet brakes can cause accidents. They

may not work as well in a quick stop and

may cause pulling to one side. You could

lose control of the vehicle.

After driving through a large puddle of

water or a car wash, apply your brake pedal

lightly until your brakes work normally.

Driving too fast through large water puddles

or even going through some car washes can

cause problems, too. The water may affect your

brakes. Try to avoid puddles. But if you cannot,

try to slow down before you hit them.

Hydroplaning

Hydroplaning is dangerous. So 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 are going fast enough. When your

vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or no contact

with the road.

Hydroplaning does not 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 is not a hard and fast rule about

hydroplaning. The best advice is to slow down

when it is raining.
