Why does higher speed increase the risk of aquaplaning?

702. Why does higher speed increase the risk of aquaplaning?

Higher speed increases the tyre pressure.
✓ The tyres have less time to clear water from the road surface.
The vehicle becomes heavier as speed increases.
The brakes cannot remove water from the tyres.

At higher speeds, the tyres may not disperse water effectively, making it easier for the vehicle to lose contact with the road.

✓ Check the fuel-filler label, fuel cap, or vehicle information.
Use petrol unless the engine sounds like a diesel.
Choose the fuel that has the same colour nozzle as last time.
Ask another driver with a similar-looking vehicle.

Before refuelling, check which fuel type the vehicle requires. The correct fuel is often shown inside the fuel-filler flap, on or near the fuel cap, or in the vehicle information or owner's manual. Do not rely only on nozzle colours, as these can vary between filling stations and countries.

Why should you not drive too close behind another vehicle?

710. Why should you not drive too close behind another vehicle?

✓ You may not have enough time to stop.
It makes your steering less responsive.
It increases tyre pressure.
It makes your headlights less effective.

Driving too close, or tailgating, reduces the time and space available to react and increases the risk of a rear-end collision. Use defensive driving and keep a safe following distance.
