Rainstorms that create click roadways ' threaten drivers with losing los-ing control of their vehicles. vehi-cles. In many instances, hydroplaning hy-droplaning uncontrollably can be avoided, according to AAA Utah. "If you just act like the rain isn't there, you could be in trouble," said Rolayne Fairclough, spokeswoman for AAA Utah. "You have to change the way you drive dri-ve in wet conditions. If you know what to do in an emergency, you are more likely to stay in control and avoid a dangerous crash." The quantity of water on the road, your speed and the condition of your tires affect your car's ability to maintain its traction with the road. To avoid hydroplaning, hy-droplaning, keep the following fol-lowing in mind: - Be aware of potential hydroplaning conditions: standing water, raindrops bubbling on the road or a sloshing sound from your tires. - Steering is preferred to brake at speeds above 25 mph because less distance is required to steer around an object than to brake to a stop. In wet weather, sudden sud-den breaking often leads to skids. - Slow down, avoid hard braking or turning sharply, .drive in the tracks of the vehicle in front of you and increase the distance between be-tween your vehicle and the one in front of you. - With only l12th of an inch of water between your tires and the road, each of your tires has to displace one gallon of water per sec ond. Maintaining good tread and properly inflating inflat-ing your tires will increase traction and allow water to escape from under the tires. - Choose a speed consistent consis-tent with the amount of water wa-ter on the road. At 40 mph or less, properly inflated tires witn good tread will maintain contact. Even new tires will lose some footprint contact at speeds as low as 35 mph. At 60 mph, water may separate the tire from the road and cause hydroplaning. - Prevent moisture from collecting on the inside of windows by moving the heat control to "hot and letting your car warm up before turning on defrosters de-frosters and blowers. - Turning on the air conditioning, con-ditioning, even in cold weather, can help remove moisture from the air and clear your windshield more rapidly. Make sure the in-sides in-sides of the windshield and rear window are clean. Dirty windows tend to fog up more than ones with clean surfaces. This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle, wonderful, inscrutable, in-scrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it. - Thomas Carlyle Every blade of grass has its spot on earth whence it draws its life, its strength; and so is man rooted to the land from which he draws his faith together with his life. - Joseph Conrad Cradled in Literacy Utah Family Reading Program Nebo School District is offering of-fering Reading Workshops for parents with pre-school children in the Grant Elementary Elemen-tary boundaries.
