The California Highway Patrol reminds citizens that wet roads can cause dangerous driving conditions. Hydroplaning can occur in as little as 1/16 of an inch of water, according to Public Informations Officer Patrick Seebart. Seebart reminds citizens to give themselves extra time to get to their destination so they are not driving in a hurry on the wet roads, and leave extra distance between their vehicle and the vehicles around them.
Wet weather driving tips:
- Apply brakes more gently to avoid skidding.
- Do not use cruise control on wet roadways
- Slow down
- Avoid distractions.
