Explanation
If a vehicle starts to hydroplane, applying the brakes quickly can exacerbate the loss of control. Hydroplaning occurs when a layer of water builds up between the tires of the vehicle and the road surface, causing the tires to lose traction. In such a situation, the driver should not apply the brakes abruptly. Instead, they should ease off the accelerator slowly and try to regain control of the vehicle.
