Driving Through
Deep
Standing Water
i
Wet brakes can cause accidents. They won’t work
as well in a quick stop and may cause pulling to
one side. You could lose control
of
the vehicle.
After
driving through
a
large puddle
of
water or
a car wash, apply your brake pedal lightly until
your brakes work normally.
Hydroplaning is dangerous.
So
much water can build up
under your tires that they can actually ride on the water.
This can happen if the road is wet enough and you’re
going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning,
it has little or no contact with the road.
Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often. But it can if your
tires
do
not have much tread or
if
the pressure in one or
more
is
low. It can happen if a lot of water is standing
on
the road. If
you
can see reflections from trees, telephone
poles
or other vehicles, and raindrops “dimple” the
water’s surface, there could be hydroplaning.
Hydroplaning usually happens at higher speeds. There
just isn’t
a
hard and fast rule about hydroplaning. The
best advice is to slow down when it is raining.
NOTICE:
If
you drive too quickly through deep puddles or
standing water, water can
come
in through your
engine’s air intake and badly damage your
engine. Never drive through water that
is
slightly
lower than the underbody
of
your vehicle.
If
you
can’t avoid deep puddles or standing water, drive
through them very slowly.
Some Other Rainy Weather
Tips
Besides slowing down, allow some extra following
distance. And be especially careful when you pass
another vehicle. Allow yourself more clear room
ahead, and be prepared to have your view restricted
by road spray.
Have good tires with proper tread depth.
