A few seconds can be all it takes for a driver to lose control on a wet road, the Ontario Provincial Police is warning as fall weather brings changing road conditions.
Hydroplaning can happen without warning when a vehicle hits standing water, causing the tires to lose contact with the road and making it difficult to steer or maintain control.
The OPP is reminding drivers to slow down and adjust their speed to match road and weather conditions.
Fall can bring frequent rain and rapidly changing conditions, making it important for motorists to stay alert while travelling.
Drivers are encouraged to take extra care on roads with standing water and avoid sudden movements that could make it harder to maintain control.
With weather conditions changing quickly, the OPP is reminding motorists that slowing down and driving according to the conditions can help them arrive at their destination safely.
