To avoid hydroplaning, drivers should:

Drive at a constant speed.
Apply the brakes firmly.
Slow down.
All of the above.
Explanation

Hydroplaning can cause complete loss of traction and control of steering, particularly at higher speeds or with tires that are worn out or improperly inflated. To prevent hydroplaning, slow down, especially in heavy rain. Driving slower reduces the risk, and if you feel your vehicle losing traction, decrease your speed even more.
