Hydroplaning occurs when a vehicle’s tires lose contact with the road due to excess water, reducing steering and braking power. To avoid hydroplaning, here are some tips to follow:

1. Keep Tires Properly Inflated - Ensuring your tires are properly inflated is critical to maintaining the best tread depth and evenly distributing wear, enhancing traction in any driving situation. Be sure to check manufacturer recommendations for proper tire pressure levels.

2. Drive Slow in Wet Conditions - When driving in wet conditions, reduce your speed by at least ten mph from what is posted

Here are steps to regain control of your vehicle if it slides on icy roads. As you do these, remember remain calm and not allow yourself to panic. A level-headed approach to your situation will enable you to make the best choices.

Begin adjusting your slide by steering your vehicle in the direction you want to go. Avoid hitting the brakes or suddenly accelerating since these approaches can intensify your descent and increase the chances of an accident. Instead, you should ease your foot from the accelerator pedal and guide it in the safest direction until you regain control.

An auto-dimming rearview mirror uses a sensor that detects the amount of light hitting the mirror's surface. This sensor is typically located on the front side of the mirror, facing the windshield. When the sensor detects bright light from headlights behind the car, it sends a signal to an electronic control unit (ECU).

The ECU then sends a command to the mirror to dim, reducing the amount of light reflected back to the driver's eyes. This dimming process is achieved through a combination of electrochromic gel and an electro-optical device that sits behind the mirror's surface. 

Although you may not be able to control the cost of gas as you get around each day in your vehicle, you can improve your car's fuel economy by driving slower and avoiding accelerating too quickly. Avoid driving aggressively, and give yourself enough time to reach your destination. Obeying speed limits is critical, even if it takes you an extra minute or two to reach your destination. It's also necessary to plan your route in advance and avoid highways or roads where traffic is present,

Consider the material of your car seat. All seats are not created equal, and the quality of the fabric can make or break a good seat. If you're looking for something that will last for years and be easy to clean, canvas or leather are two great options. However, if your child tends to spill things, there is nothing wrong with opting for a fabric that can take some punishment.

When considering durability, think about how often you'll use the seat, how many children you plan to use it for, and how much weight it can carry.
