Whether it has just started raining in Nederland or it's been raining for hours, standing water on the road can cause you to hydroplane. One way to decrease the risk of this issue is to slow down in this type of weather. Avoid using cruise control when the roads are wet because some systems will automatically adjust the speed of your car, which can result in not getting proper traction on the road.

Avoid driving through puddles in Nederland as you don't know how deep they might be, especially if they are on the side of the road. Look at the vehicles in front of you so that you can follow their tracks. This can sometimes push water out of the roadway as well.

Visit Philpott Pre-Owned Super Center to have your tires inspected to see if there are any smooth areas that could result in not having traction and hydroplaning. If you have to be on the road, try to keep a longer distance between you and the car in front of you.
