Hydroplaning
If water has accumulated to a certain depth on the road surface, there is a danger of hydroplaning occurring, even if:
- you drive at low speeds.
- the tires have adequate tread depth.
For this reason, in the event of heavy rain or in conditions in which hydroplaning can occur you must drive in the following manner:
- reduce your speed
- avoid ruts
- brake carefully
