In Hungarian road traffic rules, what is 'aquaplaning' (vízensiklás) and what causes it?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Tyres lose contact with the road as a layer of water builds up beneath them
- Step 1: Aquaplaning occurs when water depth, vehicle speed, and tread wear prevent tyre grooves from evacuating water, lifting the tyre off the pavement. Answer: Tyres lose contact with the road as a layer of water builds up beneath them. Why not the others: Once riding on a film of water, steering and braking inputs have zero effect on vehicle trajectory.
