Hydroplaning

is a phenomenon that occurs when a vehicle travels at high speed on a waterlogged road (e.g., during rain), causing the tires to lift off the road surface and begin to skid, reducing steering and braking effectiveness.

In this situation,

sharply turning the steering wheel or braking abruptly

is very dangerous. Instead,

hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands and use engine braking

to slow down gradually.

Hydroplaning is more likely to occur if

the tires are worn,

so regularly check tire wear when driving at high speeds.

Additionally,

increasing tire pressure before driving on highways

is also an important preventive measure.
