Why Does My Car Hydroplane?
Hydroplaning occurs when a tire encounters more water than it can distribute. Water pressure in the front of the wheel pushes water beneath the tire, and the tire is removed from the road surface by a thin film of water which causes the loss of traction. Hydroplaning can result in the loss of steering, braking and power control. If you hydroplane while you’re driving you should look for open space to travel in. Stay lightly on the accelerator and steer your wheel gently toward the open space you have identified.
