Why does higher speed increase the risk of aquaplaning?

156. Why does higher speed increase the risk of aquaplaning?

✓ The tyres have less time to clear water from the road surface.
Higher speed increases the tyre pressure.
The suspension becomes less effective at high speed.
The brakes cannot remove water from the tyres.

At higher speeds, the tyres may not disperse water effectively, making it easier for the vehicle to lose contact with the road.
