Driving when it's raining can be dangerous, but our Hallmark Ford team wants to help you stay safe when you're out and about in Batesville. Hydroplaning happens when there's a layer of water between your tires and the surface of the road. If your vehicle starts hydroplaning, you'll lose steering and baking control. Furthermore, oil residue and rain on the road can make it very slick.
Keeping up with tire maintenance will help your tires stay grounded in the rain. Keep your tires inflated to the recommended levels, and you should have them rotated when needed. Be sure to have your tires replaced when the time comes.
How you drive in the rain is vital to prevent hydroplaning. Avoid hard braking, drive slowly, and don't make sharp turns too quickly. It can also be helpful if you avoid driving though standing water and puddles, and drive in a lower gear if you can.
