Explanation
Hydroplaning occurs when your tires lose their grip on the road surface and skid on a film of water. The faster you drive on a wet road, the less effective your tires become at wiping the water from the roadway. Slowing down allows your tires to maintain better contact with the road, reducing the likelihood of hydroplaning. When driving on wet roads, reduce your speed by 5 to 10 mph and increase your following distance.
