[QUOTE="tIANcI, post: 618737, member: 25377"] Read this note on aquaplaning: - Aquaplaning is the name given to the occasion where you are driving in wet conditions and your vehicles wheels lose traction. - It can be difficult to tell when you are aquaplaning, but it often feels as though the steering is non-responsive and the back end is weaving/wobbling. - It occurs as a combination of speed, tyre pressure, tyre condition and depth of water. - Avoid aquaplaning by reducing your speed to under 50 mph. Over this speed and you significantly increase your chances of aquaplaning. - Stay in the tracks of the vehicle in front of you, but stay back by at least 3 seconds. - Try and stay in the middle lanes, as water will tend to gather in the outside lanes first. If you do aquaplane: - Depress the clutch - Put you hazard lights on - Grip the wheel firmly and steer where you want to go (steer into the skid) - Avoid braking/accelerating - Check the rear view mirror for other vehicles getting too close etc. Eh ... got time to do all that ar? Hehehehehehe ... [/QUOTE]
