Heavy rain~ Hydroskimming~ Don't panic!! Recently, affected by the outer circulation of a typhoon front, intermittent heavy rainfall has occurred throughout Taiwan. During this time, vehicles may experience the #hydroskimming effect. When you encounter hydroskimming, #staycalm! Don't panic~ Follow these steps📣
#Hydroskimming - #ThreeStepsToEmergencyResponse❗
1. Immediately release the accelerator pedal; do not slam on the brakes!!
2. Grip the steering wheel firmly to keep the vehicle moving straight ahead!!
3. Allow the vehicle to automatically decelerate until you regain control!!
#Hydroskimming - #DangerYouNeedToKnow💦 When tires have shallow treads/go too fast, driving through flooded areas can cause poor tire drainage or prevent the tires from draining water quickly enough, causing them to roll on the water film. The tires cannot fully contact the ground, resulting in the so-called "hydroskimming phenomenon."
#Speed - Slowing down is crucial in rainy weather🚗 Hydroskimming can occur at speeds above 60 km/h, and the higher the speed, the higher the probability.
Water drift can occur when passing through areas with inadequate drainage, water accumulation and glare on the road surface after rain, or water splashing everywhere.
