To reduce aquaplaning risk on a wet carriageway...

Correct answer

we must reduce our speed.

Reduce speed smoothly and adapt driving to water and tyre condition. Aquaplaning occurs when the tyre cannot clear enough water and loses contact with the road; it does not necessarily depend on spray from other vehicles. Maintain appropriate pressure and tread. Lower speed reduces risk but does not guarantee safe passage through a flooded area.
