If your tires begin to hydroplane, what should you do?

  1. Brake immediately

  2. Continue to drive at the same speed

  3. Ease off the gas pedal

  4. Turn the steering wheel sharply

The correct answer is: Brake immediately

When your tires start to hydroplane, it means they are skimming the surface of the road due to a buildup of water between the tire tread and the road surface, leading to a loss of traction. Braking immediately can make the situation worse by potentially locking up your tires and causing you to lose control of the vehicle. The correct action to take when experiencing hydroplaning is to ease off the gas pedal. This allows your vehicle to slow down gradually and regain traction as the tires make contact with the road surface again. Therefore, option C is the best course of action in this situation.
