It is undoubtedly a scary sensation to be caught up in a hydroplaning incident. This happens when a vehicle's tires come across more water on the road than they can disperse, leading to a slide or skid across the wet surface. The vehicle safety experts at Hendrick MINI want you to know how you can avoid hydroplaning.

The best preventative measure that you can take to reduce your risk of hydroplaning is to always keep your tires properly inflated. You should also rotate and replace your tires as recommended by your trusted mechanic.

When roads are wet, it is important to slow down and take the necessary precautions. This means that you should steer clear of standing water and puddles. It is also a good idea to avoid driving in the outer lanes of the road because this is where the water is most likely to pool up.
