Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When driving in rain or through areas with standing water, the components of the braking system (discs, drums, pads and shoes) get wet. This film of water significantly reduces friction, causing a temporary loss of effectiveness or a delay in the braking response. For this reason, good driving practice advises pressing the brake pedal gently and repeatedly so that the heat generated by friction evaporates the accumulated moisture and the brakes are checked to be working properly. Avoiding the clutch altogether makes no sense: the clutch is used normally to change gear. Raising the inflation pressure above the recommended value is false and dangerous, since it reduces the contact surface with the road surface and makes it easier to lose grip and aquaplane.
