How should you act if you’re hydroplaning?

If you are hydroplaning: don’t brake hard, accelerate, or let go of the steering wheel. The best approach to hydroplaning is to remain calm, maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel, ease off the gas, and avoid quick or jerky movements. Remember that high speeds, poor tire tread depth, and under-inflated tires will increase the risk of hydroplaning.
