WET DRIVING TIPS
- Make sure your tires offer the proper amount of tread (click here to learn the Penny Test).
- Own tires that offer maximum grip in wet weather, like the BFGoodrich® g-Force Super Sport A/S®.
- Drive with two hands. Always.
- Slow down before turning, and maintain a consistent speed throughout the turn.
- While turning, don’t make any sudden steering wheel movements.
- Only brake in a straight line before the turn, and do so gradually. Do not brake during the turn.
- Increase your following distance from other cars significantly.
- If hydroplaning, do not accelerate or brake suddenly. Keep your foot lightly on the gas and steer the car forwards until your tires regain traction.
