The present invention relates to a device to avoid the aquaplaning problem on a vehicle (10), the device being applicable at least on the drive wheels (28) of the vehicle and comprising a tank (12) of fluid under pressure that is connected to a plurality of means (26) associated with the respective wheels and suitable to shoot jets of pressurized fluid onto the road surface, and sensing means (18) suitable to detect the conditions of the road surface to actuate said fluid ejecting means. The means for ejecting the jets of fluid (26) are injector nozzles controlled by a central processing unit (CPU), which receives the signals from said sensors (18), and are operated in a manner coordinated with the physical position of the respective wheel so as to be continually oriented in the direction of travel of the same wheel.
