Which of the following statements is FALSE concerning hydroplaning?
  1. Because of their added weight combination vehicles cannot hydroplane.
  2. School buses can hydroplane under certain road conditions.
  3. Single vehicles are as likely to hydroplane as buses.
  4. All of the above are true statements.
Explanation
Answer: A - When it comes to the possibility of hydroplaning, all vehicles, regardless of size or weight, are susceptible to hydroplaning. Big rigs can be especially hazardous as both tractor and trailer can lose traction with the wet road, thus creating a significant danger to the driver and other motorists. To prevent hydroplaning, ALL drivers should reduce speed when driving on wet roads.
