Question 5728
What are the consequences of hydroplaning?
- Reduced visibility.
- Loss of traction.
- Increased traction.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Loss of traction.
With hydroplaning, a layer of water gets between the tire and the asphalt. The tire loses contact with the ground and loses grip, so the car does not respond to steering or braking. Reduced visibility comes from the rain itself.
