Practice question
How does the hydroplaning (Aquaplaning) risk for a heavy commercial bus compare to that of a light passenger car?
- Buses cannot aquaplane, because their axle loads are too high
- Buses aquaplane at about half the speed of cars because of their greater length
- High wheel loads and high tyre pressures raise the speed at which aquaplaning begins, but worn tread and deep standing water can still cause a total loss of control
- Aquaplaning affects only the steered front axle, so directional control is never lost
Answer: C — High wheel loads and high tyre pressures raise the speed at which aquaplaning begins, but worn tread and deep standing water can still cause a total loss of control
