Managing your speed appropriately will lower the risk of skidding especially in adverse weather conditions.

True

At 80 mph in water as low as ...of an inch deep, even good tire treads may cause a vehicle to skid. Therefore, at this speed even on very slightly wet road your vehicle is at risk of skidding.

0.08

Wet roads are most dangerous when the temperature is near freezing (....to ....degree F), and ice form on the road surfaces. This type of ice are often called "black ice" as it is very difficult to spot them. Therefore, be careful of areas where ice and water are stagnant. These areas are cooler and may have "black ice". Slow down in such areas.

In normal situations tires can channel away water from the road surface at speeds up to .... mph. Remember that at a higher speed than that, the less the tires of your vehicle are able to cope with the job of channeling away the water on the road surface. However, you should take note that even at speed as low as that, it takes only a water depth of only .... inch, to make your vehicle hydroplane (ride) on the thin film of water, similar to how a skier skis on a layer of water. This happens when the tires rise up and rides on a layer of water.

Know Where and When the Risk Arises. With good tires, a moderate rate of precipitation, and a well-drained roadway surface, hydroplaning rarely occurs below .... mph. However, if any of those conditions are not met, it can happen at speeds as low as ... mph.

If you have very good tire tread, you will not skid even when driving at 80 mph.

False

In a wet day, you should drive at a certain high speed, as the wind pressure will push the water in front of your tires away to allow you to have enough traction to drive without hydroplaning.

False

Hydroplaning takes place when your vehicle's tires are moving so fast or when they encounter more water than they can scatter or channel away, such as when a driver travels through deep puddles at high speeds or the vehicle gets entrenched in "water-filled ruts.

True

Increasing following distance on slippery surfaces will enable you to stop well behind the vehicle ahead so as to prevent being pushed into it if somebody was to rear end you.

True

The vehicle in front is not leaving a tire track and is hydroplaning, and you may be danger or is hydroplaning yourself.

True

Traction loss is often caused by road surface conditions such as: Wet road surfaces; particularly first 15 minutes of rain after a long dry period when drops of oil and rubber particles have collected on the surface and combined with water to form a very slick mixture.

particularly in the first 15 minutes of rain

Although many factors such as such as water depth, speed, weight of the vehicle, width of the tire, depth of tread, and tread pattern, combine to cause hydroplaning, all tires will hydroplane with the right combination of ...... and .....water .

speed, water depth

A much smaller percentage of weather-related crashes occur during winter conditions than in the rainy season when conditions are wet.

True

Hydroplaning occurs when a vehicle's tires lose contact with the road surface and is riding on a film of water and the vehicle will skid.

True

Remember that accelerating too hard, that is if you supply too much power to the drive wheels, you will cause them to spin, leading to a skid.
