To reduce aquaplaning risk when approaching standing water, what should you do?

Correct answer

Moderate your speed

Reduce speed before entering and drive smoothly. Aquaplaning occurs when a layer of water prevents effective tyre contact with the road; it depends on water, speed and tyre condition, not merely spray from other vehicles. If grip is lost, avoid abrupt braking or steering and ease off acceleration smoothly.
