Questions Learners Have About Heavy Rain Safety

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Heavy Rain Safety, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is hydroplaning (aquaplaning) and why is it dangerous?

Hydroplaning occurs when a layer of water builds up between your tires and the road surface, causing your vehicle to lose traction and you to lose control of steering and braking. It's dangerous because you essentially surf on water, unable to respond to changes in the road.

How does heavy rain affect my braking distance in the Netherlands?

Heavy rain significantly increases your braking distance. The water on the road reduces tire grip, making it harder for your vehicle to slow down effectively. You should always maintain a greater following distance in wet conditions, typically 3-4 seconds.

What should I do if my car starts to hydroplane?

If your car starts to hydroplane, slowly release the accelerator and depress the clutch if necessary. Do NOT brake or steer abruptly. Keep your eyes on the direction you want to drive and wait until the tires regain traction before attempting to brake or steer.

How can I reduce the risk of hydroplaning in heavy rain?

To reduce hydroplaning risk, lower your speed, ensure your tires have adequate pressure and good tread depth, and avoid sudden steering or braking. Driving in ruts can also increase the risk, so try to avoid them when safely possible.

When should I turn on my lights in heavy rain in the Netherlands?

You should switch on your dipped headlights when visibility is significantly reduced due to heavy rain, even during the day. This makes your vehicle more visible to other road users, improving overall safety. Fog lights can be used if visibility drops below specific distances.
