Hydroplaning (gliding on a water film) on a wet road causes loss of vehicle control due to lack of contact between the road surface and the tires.

The occurrence of hydroplaning depends on road conditions, tread condition and tire pressure, as well as vehicle speed.

Hydroplaning is very dangerous.

The best way to prevent hydroplaning is to reduce vehicle speed and remain attentive when driving on wet roads.
