Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much
water
can build up under your tires that
they can actually ride-on the-water. This
can happen
if the road is wet enough
and you’re going-fast enough. When
youi vehi-cle. is hydroplaning, it
has little
or no-contact with the road.
You
might. not be aware of hydroplaning.
You could drive along
for some time
without realizing your tires aren’t in
constant contact with the road.
You
could find out the hard way: when you
have to slow, turn, move out to pass-
or
if .you get hit by-a gust of wind. You
could suddenly find yours& out of
control.
I88
Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often.
But it can if your tires haven’t much
tread
or if the pressure in one or more is
low. It can happen if a lot of water- is
standing on the road.
If you can see
reflections
from trees, telephone poles,
or other vehicles, and raindrops
“dimple” the water’s surface, there
could be hydroplaning.
Hydrop1anhg:usually happens at higher
speeds. There just isn’t a hard and fast
rule about hydroplaning. The best
advice is
to slow down when it is
raining, and be careful.
Some Other Rainy Weather Tips
9 Turn on your headlights-not just
your
parking lights-to help make you
more visible to -others.
Look for hard-to-see vehicles co-ming
from behind.
You may want to use
your headlights even in daytime if it’s
-raining hard.
Besides slo.wing down, allow some
extra follo~ng distance.
And‘be
especially careful when you pass
another vehicle. Allow yourself-more clear room ahead, and be prepared
to
have your view restricted by r-oad .
spray. If the road. spray is.50 heavy
you..are actually blinded, drop back.
.Don’t pass until conditions improve.
Going more slowly
is better than
having-an accident.
Use your defogger if it helps.
Have good tires with proper tread
depth. (See
the Index under Tires.)

Tips on Driving in Fog (CONT.)
something between you and moving
vehicles-space, trees, telephone poles,
a private driveway, anything that
removes you
from other trafic.
If visibility is near zero and you must
stop but are unsure whether you are
away
from the road, turn your lights on,
start your hazard warning flashers, and
sound your horn at intervals or when
you hear approaching traffic.
Pass other vehicles in fog only if you
can see far enough ahead to pass safely.
Even then, be prepared to delay your
pass if you suspect the fog is worse up
ahead. If other vehicles try to pass you,
make it easy for them.
City Driving
One of the biggest problems with city.
streets
is the amount o€ traffic on them.
You’ll want to watch
out for what the
other drivers are doing
and pay
attention
to traffic signals.
Here are ways to increase your safety in
city driving:
* Know the best way to get to where
you-are going.
Try not to drive around
trying to pick out a familiar street or
landmark. Get a city map
and plan
your trip into an unknown part of the
city
just .as you would for a cross-
country trip.
9 Try to use the freeways that rim and
crisscross
most large cities. You’ll
save time
and energy. (See the next
section,
Freeway Driving.)
Treat a green light as a warning
.signal, A traffic light is there because
the corner
is busy .enough to need it.
When a light turns green, and just
before you start to move, check both
ways for vehicles. that have not
cleared
the intersection or may be
running the red light.
Obey all posted speed limits. But
remenher that they are
for ideal road,
weather
and visibility conditions. You
may need to drive bglow the .posted
limit
.in b.ad weather or when visibility
is especially poor,
clear
of intersections when you see or
hear emergency vehicles.
