Question 8130
To prevent the vehicle from hydroplaning on water in rainy conditions...
- you must use chains.
- you must reduce your speed.
- you must increase your speed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: you must reduce your speed.
To keep the car from riding on top of the water, slow down until the tires can clear the water and make firm contact with the road surface. The faster you go, the more water they have to clear in less time. Accelerating increases the risk, and chains are for snow and ice.
