Tricks How to Anticipated "Aquaplaning"

Motorists should be cautious when driving in the rain-soaked road surface and with other challenges. As the area around a bad view, slippery roads, puddles, and unexpected obstacles such as fallen trees.
In these conditions, riders require adjustments to drive and extra vigilance. Especially when checking the condition of the car in order to stay fit. General Motors Indonesia in particular give some tips, straight from Dadan Ramadhani, Customer Care Director.

The first fragment contains about aquaplaning. It is a condition in which the water in front of the tire assembly and can not be streamed or transmitted though the spinning wheel. As a result, the tires lose traction or cengekraman. Here's how to anticipate:

1. Slow the vehicle while crossing a puddle of water to minimize the risk of occurrence of slippage and adds a safe distance with the vehicle in front. Lower speeds also reduce the chances of aquaplaning. As a result, there is another layer (water) between the tire and the road surface, resulting in a tire begins to "float" and potentially derailed vehicles because there is no traction.

2. Motorists can realize when subjected to aquaplaning when the steering suddenly felt light and the vehicle does not respond to steering movements.

3. Another symptom is the rider look round the engine (RPM) up and down suddenly, but without an increase in speed. It is usually accompanied by a feeling of vehicle "twitch" (when the tires lose grip of a moment, before regaining control). It is a sign that you begin to experience Aquaplane tires.

4. When aquaplaning occurs, the driver must reduce speed without braking by reducing the acceleration gradually. Wait for the vehicle to slow down and allow the tires to regain grip.

5. If the vehicle starts to skid, the driver must keep the steering wheel to the intended direction until the car goes straight again.

6. Keep a constant pressure on the gas pedal and light. Driving subtly is the key.
