Bermuda Police Service would like to remind the public that wet roads or roads with heavy surface water may cause your vehicle to "aquaplane". This can be caused by heavy rainfall building up on a road's surface or by pools of water where there are holes or ruts in a road. On top of that, aquaplaning can be made worse by two other factors - the condition of a vehicle's tyres and the speed that the vehicle is traveling. It's said that good quality tyres can clear the equivalent of a bucket of water off a road every seven seconds - meaning that tyres in tip top condition can handle a fair amount of water when driving in wet conditions. Conversely, tyres with a low tread will struggle to clear as much water and could, in the wrong conditions, make the issue worse and allow the layer of water to build up beneath the tyres. If your car starts aquaplaning, don't panic - follow these tips to help control an aquaplaning vehicle: Don't hit the brakes hard Gently ease off the accelerator Hold the steering wheel straight When the car begins to gain control you can begin to brake to bring your speed down.   Contact Bermuda Police Service for more information.
