When driving too quickly in wet conditions, your tires may lose all contact with the road surface. Loss of traction will cause the vehicle to ride on top of the water, which is called "hydroplaning."

• Drive at a speed appropriate for ideal conditions.
• Apply your brakes as soon as your car starts to skid.
• Slow down.
