You’re driving in heavy rain. What should you do if your steering suddenly feels very light?

Explanation: If the steering feels light when you're driving in heavy rain, it's probably due to water that has built up between your tyres and the road surface. Easing off the accelerator should allow your tyres to displace the film of water and they should then regain their grip on the road.
