When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and road surface. This is known as hydroplaning and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability. To reduce this possibility, the following precautions should be observed:
1. Slow down during rainstorms
or when the roads are slushy.
2. Slow down if the road has standing water or puddles.
3. Replace tires when tread wear indicators first become visible.
4. Keep tires properly inflated.
5. Maintain sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of
you to avoid a collision in a sudden stop.

As far as possible avoid sharp braking and screech starts.
Be careful not to hit the kerb, potholes or other obstacles hard. Driving for
long stretches over bumpy roads can damage the tyres.
