Explanation
Hydroplaning occurs when a vehicle's tires slide on a layer of water, preventing contact between the tires and the road surface. This can cause the vehicle to skid. To prevent hydroplaning, slow down in wet conditions, avoid driving through puddles and standing water, refrain from using cruise control in the rain, ensure your tires have adequate tread, and regularly rotate and balance your tires.
