While navigating an unlit single-carriageway route during a cloudburst, a build-up of surface water causes your tyres to lose grip and float. In what chronological order should you carry out the following actions to safely regain vehicle control?
- 1Keep the steering wheel straight and steady without making abrupt directional changes.
- 2Ease your foot smoothly off the accelerator pedal without touching the brake.
- 3Allow vehicle momentum to drop until the tyre treads disperse the standing water and contact the road surface.
- 4Confirm that normal steering resistance has returned before making any necessary course adjustments.

1. Keep the steering wheel straight and steady without making abrupt directional changes. 2. Ease your foot smoothly off the accelerator pedal without touching the brake. 3. Allow vehicle momentum to drop until the tyre treads disperse the standing water and contact the road surface. 4. Confirm that normal steering resistance has returned before making any necessary course adjustments.
When a vehicle aquaplanes, water builds between the tyres and road, causing steering to feel light. The correct procedure is to first maintain a straight, steady steering angle to prevent a spin. Next, smoothly ease off the accelerator to let engine drag reduce speed without locking the wheels. Then, allow the lower speed to let tyre treads disperse the water layer. Finally, verify that steering weight and feel have returned before resuming normal driving manoeuvres.
