How should you behave when entering a section of a road covered with puddles?

How should you behave when entering a section of a road covered with puddles?

Description

Art. 19 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended).
Explanation

Correct answer: Limit driving speed.

In accordance with the principle of adapting speed to the conditions (Art. 19 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act), when driving into puddles, you must significantly reduce your speed. Driving through them quickly risks an uncontrolled skid due to loss of grip (so-called aquaplaning), and dangerous road damage may be hidden under the water. You should also remember to avoid splashing pedestrians.
