If your vehicle speed exceeds 35 mph on a wet road or in rain, your tires will start to ride up on the water, which is known as:

  1. floating

  2. gliding

  3. hydroplaning

  4. skidding

The correct answer is: floating

When your vehicle speed exceeds 35 mph on a wet road or in rain, the tires may start to ride up on the water due to a thin layer of water forming between the tires and the road surface. This phenomenon is known as hydroplaning. Hydroplaning can lead to a loss of traction and control, making it dangerous for drivers. In this case, "floating" is not the correct term for the described situation. "Gliding" and "skidding" are also not the right terms to describe the specific effect of tires riding up on the water, which is hydroplaning.
