Miss Van- Winkle Is the daughter of Mr. faster the vehicle travels the greater the pressure exerted by the water-wedges, until only wa ter supports the tires . . . the vehicle actually skims on the surface of the water. When this happens, sudden braking or acceleration, or ev en a strong gust of wind, can cause the auto to skid or, more accurately, float out of control as if it were on a sheet of ice. Research at the National Aer onautics and Space Administra tion's Langlev Research Center showed that cars begin to hy droplane at 85 m.p.h., depend ing upon vehicle weight and tire tread condition. Between 35 and 55 m.p.h., partial hydro planing can cause severe skids Over 55 m.p.h., wheels begin losing all contact with the pave ment. Tests show that hydroplaning can occur in one-tenth of an inch of water . . . the equival ent of a rain drenched highway. Research also reveals that worn tires will hydroplane in less wa ter and at lower speeds than new tires. Although there are few statis tics on accidents caused by hy droplaning, it should be noted that 22 percent of all crashes and 18 percent of all fatalities occur on wet roads. It can be assumed that hydroplaning is a prominent lactor in these crash es. To help prevent a crash caus ed by hydroplaning, Costa rec ommends that motorists (1) re duce speed by one-third on wet roads, (2) keep proper inflation level in the tires, (3) watch for standing pockets of water. (4) increase following distance from the car ahead, and (5) re place badly worn tires. FREE COFFEE FOR THOSE WiDE AWAKE SHOPPERS!
