Here's information on what to do when your car is hydroplaning:
When your car hydroplanes, it loses traction and you need to act quickly and calmly. The key is to avoid sudden movements.
Don't Panic: The first and most crucial thing is to stay calm. Panic can lead to jerky, ineffective reactions.
Ease Off the Accelerator: Immediately take your foot off the gas pedal. Do NOT slam on the brakes. This will only worsen the situation and can cause the wheels to lock up, making it harder to regain control.
Steer Gently: Steer in the direction you want the car to go. If the rear of the car is sliding to the right, gently steer to the right. If it's sliding to the left, gently steer to the left. This is called counter-steering. Avoid making any sudden or jerky steering inputs. The aim is to gently guide the car back to your intended path.
Avoid Braking: As mentioned before, avoid braking. If you have anti-lock brakes (ABS), apply firm and steady pressure to the brake pedal, and let the system do its work. If you don't have ABS, gently pump the brakes. Pumping the brakes means quickly pressing and releasing the brake pedal instead of holding it down.
Wait to Regain Traction: Once you feel the tires regain traction, you can gently accelerate and steer back onto your desired path.
Consider the Road Conditions: Be aware of road conditions and reduce your speed accordingly when driving in wet weather. Areas where water tends to pool, such as in ruts or on the edges of the road, are particularly risky.
