Motorcyclist Skids on Wet Roads, Deflects Off Car in Haddam: Fire Department
"There are times when it’s dangerous to drive a car on a wet road, but it’s even more dangerous for a motorcycle," the fire department posted on Facebook. "Motorcycles are much more susceptible to hydroplaning than cars because their tires have less tread and tread depth, therefore less opportunity to channel water away."
