You hit aquaplaning. What do you do first?

You hit aquaplaning. What do you do first? Take a calm look at the traffic situation and first choose A, B or C for yourself. A. Brake hard B. Ease off the gas gently C. Steer sharply The correct answer B. Ease off the gas gently Ease off the gas gently and avoid sudden steering or braking movements. Why this matters during your driving lesson By recognizing the situation early, you can act predictably and give yourself time to look properly. While practising, say out loud what you see, who has priority, and how much space you need. Test tip Look far ahead, check your mirrors, and only make a decision once the whole situation is clear. Safe, controlled action is more important than reacting quickly. View the source: Safe driving behaviour – Rijmaatje.
