Slow Down: The faster you are driving, the more likely you are to hydroplane. Reduce your speed when driving in wet conditions, especially if there is standing water on the road.
Maintain Proper Tire Pressure: Underinflated tires can increase the risk of hydroplaning, as they have less contact with the road surface. Check your tire pressure regularly and ensure that it is at the recommended level.
Check Your Tires: Worn or bald tires are more likely to hydroplane than tires with good tread. Check your tires regularly for signs of wear and replace them when necessary.
Avoid Standing Water: Try to avoid driving through standing water on the road, as this is where hydroplaning is most likely to occur. If you must drive through standing water, slow down and try to stay in the middle of the lane, where the water is shallowest.
Avoid Sudden Maneuvers: Sudden turns or braking can increase the risk of hydroplaning, as they can cause the tires to lose contact with the road surface. Drive smoothly and avoid sudden movements.
