Question: If you start to hydroplane you should:
Answer options:
- Brake hard
- Steer hard to one side ✅ Ease off the gas and steer straight until you regain traction
- Pull the handbrake
Correct answer: Ease off the gas and steer straight until you regain traction
Explanation: When hydroplaning, tires ride on a thin film of water, losing contact with the road. The MTO handbook states the correct recovery method is to ease off the accelerator and steer straight, letting the vehicle slow down naturally until traction is restored. Braking hard, steering sharply, or pulling the handbrake will lock the wheels and trigger a dangerous, uncontrollable skid. This question tests your knowledge of emergency vehicle handling in wet conditions. On the G1 exam, remember that smooth, gradual control inputs are always the correct response to a loss of traction.
