If you hydroplane (lose traction and start sliding on wet roads), stay calm and take these steps right away:
Braking hard can make you skid more.
Ease off the gas pedal slowly.
Your tires will eventually reconnect with the road.
When they do, you can begin to gently steer or brake if needed.
No sharp turns.
No quick acceleration or hard braking.
Drive slower in rain or puddles.
Make sure your tires have good tread and are properly inflated.
Avoid using cruise control on wet roads.
Drive in the tracks of the car in front of you if possible.
