HOW TO AVOID HYDROPLANING

How to Avoid Hydroplaning

If you have ever been involved in a hydroplaning incident while on the road, then you know how scary of a time this can be. Nobody wants to lose control of their vehicle. Hydroplaning can actually be very dangerous depending on the amount of water that is on the road, as well as how fast you hit the area. Let us here at Ruge’s Chevrolet give you a few tips on how you can avoid hydroplaning in your vehicle: Make sure to keep an eye on the quality of your tires. You want a good, high tread on your vehicle’s tires. You also want to have your tires rotated and balanced regularly at an auto service center. Don’t accelerate when you are within the area of water. Let go of the accelerator and coast through the best that you can. Try to slow down ahead of time. The slower you go, the safer you will be if you hydroplane.
