When your car begins to slide due to water buildup on the road, what should you do?
Hydroplaning occurs when the tires lose contact with the road surface due to excess water, making the vehicle ride on a thin film of water. This can happen at speeds as low as 30 mph. To manage hydroplaning, decelerate slowly without using brakes, allowing the tires to regain traction safely.
