Question 3545
In heavy rain, when is there a risk of hydroplaning?
- Only when driving with worn tires.
- Only when the vehicle is heavily loaded.
- Especially when driving at high speed, even if the tires are in good condition.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Especially when driving at high speed, even if the tires are in good condition.
At high speeds, tires may be unable to disperse all the water and can lose contact with the pavement. Hydroplaning can therefore occur even with tires in good condition.
