Open door jump

Should not continue braking while aquaplaning, you will lose more control if you jam your foot on the brakes.

I have hit water puddles and aquaplaned about 5 times when driving Iswara & Vios in the rain.
It causes the steering to twist away from my grip, but I just kept the steering steady forward & never touch the brakes.
No need for any panic or wildly/sudden swinging the steering left or right like in movies.
And the end result is = no drama. Continue the journey home as usual.

For experienced drivers, this is the correct answer :

Actually you can't do much. Even pro can't react within the tight window. Everything just comes in split second. When you Aqua plane on one wheel, In fraction of the second, the car direction shifts, you counter, when the wheel regains traction, it throws the car out due to momentum, your car spins. The job of the esc or esp or vsc tries to correct the car direction in according to the steering. However if there is no grip for the wheel gain traction, it is difficult for the car to correct its trajectory. You can learn more in defensive driving. Common drivers are not prepared for such incident hence they panic. By going through such school you will know what to do to minimize the hazards.

aquaplaning is no joke. I kana many times last time at federal highway when I used semi slick on my old ride

How do I avoid aquaplaning?

Firstly, be vigilent and attentive when you're driving in the wet - unseen areas of standing water can cause an unexpected surprise. If you drive into an unseen wet area, and your car does begin to aquaplane, there are a number of steps you can follow to reduce the risk of an accident:

• Gently lift off the accelerator and try to stay calm and measured in your next actions.
• This will softly slow your car's momentum and allow the tyre to regain grip in a progressive way – this will help you avoid the rubber 'biting' suddenly, which could potentially result in sending you into a skid or spin.
• Feed the steering wheel slowly and steadily and gently brush the brakes if the car continues to show no sign of returning control.

These are reactionary measures, however we maintain that the best way to avoid aquaplaning is through preparation:

• Ensure your tyres have a healthy amount more than the legal 1.6mm of tread on them – british motoring organisations tend to recommend a minimum of 2mm • Ensure the tyre pressures are checked, to see if they’re inflated correctly. If they are not, be sure to top them up or reduce them as necessary.
• Once on the move, if you see a flooded piece of road up ahead, gently decelerate to a safe speed and try to move into a safer, clearer area of the road if it is safe to do so.
• Adjust your speed to the road conditions ahead, and avoid deep floods - they can not only cause aquaplaning but serious damage to your car if navigated too quickly.

It can be easy to find yourself aquaplaning in these terrible, wet conditions - use these hints and tips to stay safe!

wow, luckily no accident / deaths, n the myvi landed safely on emergency lane........

See, Myvi terbabas but still intact. 6 star ncap OK. better than your preve

can only say padan muka. I see so many accident such as this in karak.

Myvi masuk longkang i got alot photo taken at karak.

Heavy rain never jammed brake or press brake hard.

Good advice Boy96

too bad these important skills are not taught at our driving schools

i have driven a few times on the NS highway with heavy rain and encountered the same many times during the journey. what i did was ease off the accelerator a little to keep about 15% of the throttle (do not suddenly ease off completely) and finely steer (2-5degrees) to find grip. those days the tyres were at about 40% thread up front and 60% on the rear.

have same experience with video while driving my myvi se

got scattered rain shower that time, normal driving not so fast, during cruise down road at small hill location gerik perak, suddently lost control of car and feel like all tyre sliding downhill, panic attack but still controlling car, vehicle turn 2 times rotate and landing on opposite route.

incoming car got group one 5 chinese boy all face like saw ghost when pass me. me? thankful to god so much didnt died or jump into down mountain..fuhh....

when u are in that situation, all u remeber is death.

i hv been in one.

It's a natural reaction. Not many have advance driving skill & they don't even teach you about it when in driving school. Nor do they test you for it.

What I hate is when the car in front suddenly brakes when going through a puddle of standing water. It forces me to brake too & it's dangerous on the fast lane.

good graphics ...

TLDR no need to read also know ...

seen a few myvis and kelisas. all langsi drive fast fast when raining. panic when aquaplane ended up applying too much brake then car buang. lol

SS in the rain.
Of course la no jokee.

If you notice some road have stagnant water.

what to do. I can only afford that only. LOL!

specifically: depan guinness stout batu 9 federal highway before the bridge

suddenly the influx of pro rally and pro driver in the thread. and some former f1 drivers too. kencang siul!

How you arrive at this conclusion?
Which part in thread got pro rally and former f1 driver ?
I want to know them too.

some of our friends here only give good advice lah. give them face lah.

later if troll pun marah.

so how?
