It was fun to use a Slip N Slide when you were a kid, but as an adult, the last thing you want your car to do on a wet road is slip OR slide. It’s called hydroplaning and it can easily cause a car accident.
Why does hydroplaning occur?
SafeMotorist.com says, “When light rain mixes with oil residue on the road surface, it creates slippery conditions that can cause vehicles, especially those traveling speeds in excess of 35 mph, to hydroplane.”
You may think your chances of hydroplaning increase the longer you are driving in rainy conditions, but the truth is, the first few minutes of light rain can be the most dangerous.
How can you protect yourself from hydroplaning?
SafeMotorist.com suggests you:
