It is bloody scary. I've only aquaplaned twice in twenty years' driving.
By far the more serious occurence was on the B4011 (Thame to Bicester) when the rear let loose (car's, my own very nearly after!) and left me with a car pivoting about it's front axle. How I managed to rein that in I don't know. Luck was on my side that night.
I think it was down to having brand new rubber on the front and questionable quality at the back. Hence we should always fit new tyres at the rear or fir all four together. Guess what I've done ever since that tiime. |
