While driving fast in the rain, the steering suddenly feels light and the car seems to float on the water (aquaplaning). What is the most appropriate response?
💡 Hint
Aquaplaning is when a film of water forms between the tires and the road and the tires lose grip. Without grip, sudden braking or sharp steering can cause a skid the moment the wheels touch the road again, and remember that the higher the speed, the thicker the water film.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Aquaplaning happens when a film of water forms between the tires and the road and grip is lost. Hard braking or sharp steering can make the car skid or spin when the tires regain contact, so hold the wheel straight and ease off the accelerator gradually. Accelerating thickens the water film and makes it worse.
