aSmoothly decrease the speed.
bDecidedly brake.
cDecidedly speed up.

After entering a water-filled rut, ease off the accelerator to reduce speed gradually. A layer of water can separate the tyres from the road, causing a loss of grip. Braking sharply or accelerating hard can increase the risk of skidding and losing control.
