The first thing you should do when you see any kind of standing water on the road is reduce your speed. Most experts recommend slowing down to ten miles per hour below the posted speed limit. It is very hard to judge how deep standing water is and this will help avoid hydroplaning.
The second thing to do is choose high quality tires the next time you have them replaced. This can help gain a great deal more traction when there is water on the road versus much cheaper and ineffective tires.
If you have any additional questions about hydroplaning or would like to schedule a service appointment with our experienced team, then be sure to either give us a call or stop on by Patterson Hyundai Tyler of Tyler, TX today!
