1. Hydroplaning occurs when tires ride on a thin film of water instead of on the road. To prevent hydroplaning in wet weather, you should:

Put on your cruise control to maintain a constant speed.

Move to the shoulder of the road as soon as it starts to rain.

Hydroplaning is caused by driving too fast on a wet road. Slow down when driving on wet pavement to prevent hydroplaning.

Exceeding the posted speed limit and driving too fast for conditions or circumstances.

Getting adequate rest and staying alert.

Scanning the environment and staying focused on the driving task.

Driving above the speed limit, driving too far below the speed limit, and driving too fast for conditions are all actions that commonly contribute to traffic accidents. Always drive with the general flow of traffic, within legal speed limits.

3. To help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces, you should:

Shift to a lower gear after starting down a steep hill.

Speed up to enter curves and slow down to exit them.

Pressing your head firmly against the head restraint.

If your vehicle is hit from the rear while you are in forward motion, your body will be thrown backward.

If your vehicle enters a skid, you should take your foot off of the brake and steer in the direction that you want to go. For example, if the rear of your vehicle is skidding to the left, you should steer to the left. This will help bring the front of the vehicle in line with the rear, thereby straightening out the vehicle's overall direction.

Drive at the same speed as the vehicle you are passing.

Pull over quickly.

If a tire suddenly blows out while you are driving, hold the steering wheel tightly and keep the vehicle going straight.You should slow down gradually, taking your foot off the gas pedal and using the brakes lightly. Do not stop on the road if at all possible. Pull off the road in a safe place.
