Where does aquaplaning (sliding on wet roads) occur particularly often?

Aquaplaning occurs particularly in areas where water collects or where the road surface can trap water, which is why dips in the roadway and grooves in the roadway are significant.

In dips, water accumulates, creating a deeper layer that can lead to loss of traction. Grooves can channel water but if they are not designed properly, they can still lead to accumulations of water between the grooves and the tires, increasing the risk of aquaplaning.

Understanding these factors is crucial for safe driving in wet conditions, as they are specifically outlined in German traffic safety guidelines. Drivers should be aware of these areas to maintain control of their vehicles and reduce the risk of accidents.
