In Italian vehicle safety and emergency procedures (Codice della Strada), what is the rule regarding the correct driver response upon suddenly experiencing aquaplaning?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Hold wheel straight, release gas, no harsh braking

  1. Step 1: When tires float on water, sudden steering or harsh braking induces uncontrollable spinning; the driver must hold the wheel steady and ease off throttle. Answer: Hold wheel straight, release gas, no harsh braking. Why not the others: the other options do not conform to vehicle safety standards and emergency regulations under the Codice della Strada.
