Best Answer

no, just decelerate and drive straight ahead without hitting the brakes

Supplemental Information: When you are hydroplaning your tires have no contact with the road and applying the brakes or attempting a turning maneuver will send you into a spin. As stated above, when you sense that your vehicle is hydroplansing remove your foot gently from the gas allowing the vehicle to slow down so that the tires get a grip on the road surface, and THEN apply your brakes or make your maneuver.
