Question:
A 36-year-old female had an accident several weeks ago and totalled her
car. A resident of Wollongong , NSW, she was travelling between
Wollongong & Sydney . It was raining, though not excessively, when her
car suddenly began to hydroplane and literally flew through the air.
What do you think about teens driving?
She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence!
Are people with cell phones tattle tales on the highway?
When she explained to the policeman what had happened, he told her
something that every driver should know - NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH
YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON.
When the police stop you in a car why are they so rude 90 percent of the time?
She had thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and
maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain.
What's safer go kart,four wheeler,or dirt bike ?
But the policeman told her that if the cruise control is on and your car
begins to hydroplane - when your tyres lose contact with the pavement,
your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed and you take off like
an airplane. She told the policeman that was exactly what had occurred.

umm yeah I got past the 1st 2 lines and lost interest...sorry. Darn cable TV and video games!!That sounds like a good plan to me. I drive in Canada, and I would never use the cruise control under those conditions.

Can i get a class A CDL with a DUI on my driving record?
A warning plate is actually placed on the dash of Kenworth trucks about this very thing. I don't buy the bit about flying through the air, but I do think that the hydroplaning can be caused by the cruise control.15 yr. professional truck driver, 1.5 million miles, no accident.

Just an excuse for driving too fast for road conditionsIsn't it odd that check cashing businesses have a sign on their doors 'no cash o premises?
If you have good quality all-weather tires mounted, then you shouldn't need to worry about your car "hydroplaning out of control" I've found that most original equipment auto tires are not all that good in wet or slippery conditions, and by the time they have 20-30 thousand miles on them, they can be downright dangerous on wet roadways. Always be aware of the condition of your car's tires, and don't try to stretch the last thousand miles out of them. If they're worn to the point that they may not be safe in the weather conditions you need to drive in, then replace them!More Questions & Answers ...
