Hydroplaning is when water on the road prevents your tires from gripping the pavement. Sometimes it causes the driver to lose steering control, leading to a collision. Our team at Ourisman Mitsubishi Laurel in Laurel, MD would like to share how you can prevent hydroplaning.
A top way to stop hydroplaning from happening is to have your tires rotated regularly. You are more likely to experience extra wear on your tires when they are not rotated and replaced promptly. Well-maintained tires will have more tread, which means they will have better traction and disperse water effectively while driving.
Did you know that some lanes on the highway are more likely to collect puddles of water? It’s usually the outside lanes because they have curbs that sometimes cause water to flow. Changing lanes can help you avoid excessive water on the road while it’s raining or immediately after it stops.
