What should you do if your vehicle starts to hydroplane?
The correct response when a vehicle starts to hydroplane is to ease off the accelerator and let the vehicle slow down. Taking sudden actions like steering sharply or braking can cause loss of control. Hydroplaning happens when a vehicle's tires lose contact with the road surface and ride on a layer of water, leading to reduced traction.
