What brand/model tyres are you using?

You might need to change your tyres as it is quite dangerous to hydroplane.

At about 8 seconds in, taxi and my car hit some water and skidded to the left lane.

Using Michelin Primacy HP. Still got quite a bit of tread though. I hope it's just understeering, and not hydroplaning.

oic.
when face with such situation, just release accelerator (but don't jam brake and do counter steering) and let it "glide" thru the water.

 

[nfshp253]

Honestly I just kept my foot on the accelerator...

Remind me not to be next to you ..
I don't want to damage my car when you lose control..
As suggested, it's time to change tires and to Slow Down bro..

Hmm... if like that how come your speed drop?
Anyway, you should thank the taxi for helping you clear most of the water.

 

[nfshp253]

Drag caused by the water, maybe? It's not like I'm applying full throttle; I just maintained it at the same amount as before hitting the huge puddle.

Bridgestone Potenza SO2 ftw

most likely the ESP steps in to stabilize it.

 

[nfshp253]

Surprisingly the ESP light didn't come on. Seems like the wet grip on the Michelins isn't as fantastic as I thought.

You should try Michelin Pilot Sport series. I used to use PS3 on my previous VIOS and it cuts through puddles pretty well. I only encounter pull back while going through puddles when all my tires are more than 2.5 yo. That is also the time for me to change tires.

Current ride comes with Bridgestone ER33 which I'm still trying to get used to. I will changed tp PS4 when the treads are running low and when I have budget to do so, probably after 1.5 years.

 

[nomoney25]

Agreed on the ps3. Very good performance on wet Road but after 10k will start to deteriorate liao. So better don't be hero.

 

[sunsetbay]

how u capture the speedometer data & insert into the video~?

 

[aileron]

Pirelli tyre is not bad for cutting across the water too.

 

[jittery]

how to insert the speedo into video?

 

[Expert]

quite normal bah... typically if straight road u chiong fast still okay... it is the bends that u have to be careful when hydroplaning..

Why cannot go fast? If you know your car's tyre limits and how to react well, you will be able to do it too.

Can't stand those drivers that slows to like 50kmh on 1st lane when it rains..

Those that give the reason cannot see the road, then you should invest in RainX for much better visibility.
