Explanation
On wet roads, if you travel at high speeds your vehicle’s tires may start to glide over the water and lose traction with the surface of the road. Should this happen, ease your foot off the gas pedal, try to keep the wheels straight, and avoid turning if not in case of an emergency. Don't try to stop or turn until your tires are gripping the road again.
