HYDROPLANING ACCIDENTS DUE TO OKLAHOMA ROAD DEFECTS
What is hydroplaning and what can cause it?
Hydroplaning, which happens when you car, motorcycle, or truck’s tires become separated from the road surface by a layer of water, can be cause by excessive speed or poor tire treat, but in many cases, it is caused by something completely out of the driver’s control – road defects.
Common road defects that can lead to hydroplaning include:
• Improperly designed roadways.
• Lack of appropriate warning signs.
• Insufficient cross slope (the slope from the middle of the road to the side of the road which helps prevent pooling of water).
• Poor road maintenance.
