**Aquaplaning** occurs when a vehicle loses control because the tires cannot displace all the water from the road, causing the vehicle to skid. This happens especially when driving at high speed or when the tires are worn out or very wide. Under these conditions, the vehicle loses **grip** on the ground, meaning the wheels do not hold well to the road.

To avoid aquaplaning, it is important to reduce speed when driving through areas with water and ensure that the tires are in good condition. After passing through a puddle, it is advisable to check that the brakes work correctly. In summary, aquaplaning causes a **loss of grip** in rainy conditions, which can lead to losing control of the vehicle.
