Driving too fast through large water puddles or even
going through some car washes can cause problems,
too. The water may affect your brakes. Try to avoid
hit them.

Wet brakes can cause ac,,dents. They won't
work as well in a quick stop and may cause
pulling to one side. You could lose control of
the vehicle.
After driving through a large puddle of water
or a car wash, apply your brake pedal lightly
until your brakes work normally.
Hydroplaning
-
Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can
build up under your tires that they can actually ride on
the water. This can happen if the road is wet enough
and you're going fast enough. When your vehicle
is hydroplaning, it has little or no contact with
the road.
