If your bike starts to hydroplane, what should you do?

Explanation:
Hydroplaning means the tire is riding on a layer of water, reducing traction. The safest move is to stay straight and avoid braking. Ease off the throttle gradually to slow down without locking a wheel, and let the tires regain contact with the road. Once you feel traction return, resume steering smoothly. Braking or making sharp steering movements while hydroplaning can cause a loss of control, and accelerating can worsen the slide. So, staying straight and off the brakes is the best course.
