When is hydroplaning likely?

Hydroplaining is likely at any time in the rain. However it is more likely to occur if certain conditions are met, such as if the tread on your tires are poor, if this is the case you are driving a time bomb on the roads. The tread on a tire is imperative to your and others safety not just in the rain but also in situations requiring your instant reaction, anyway back to the subject. Another contributing factor is the amount of water or liquid in road (doesn't have to be water), the best way to survive the hydroplain is kind of like driving in the snow and loosing traction you have no control, #1 don't panic, remain calm and pay attention to your surrounding.#2 hold the steering wheel steady, dont try to turn and fight the vehicles motion you will lose, if your hydroplaining on a turn, again pay attention to your surroundings generally the vehicle will regain traction pretty fast. always do the speed limit when in the rain or even a little slower its ok. #3 lay off the brake as it will only complicate your situation even more. think of skipping rocks across a big body of water its about the same principle only alot bigger. After the incident calm down regain composure and BREATH. your OK. hope this is helpful. Happy Driving!?!?!?!?!
