Explanation
In heavy rain, your tires can begin to ride on the water that is on top of the road pavement. Hydroplaning normally occurs at higher speeds. The best way to keep from hydroplaning is to slow down when the road is wet. If your vehicle begins to lose traction, decrease your speed even more.
