  1. Aquaplaning or hydroplaning by the tires of a road vehicle, aircraft or other wheeled vehicle occurs when a layer of water builds between the wheels of the vehicle and the road surface, leading to a loss of traction that prevents the vehicle from responding to control inputs.



    Hydroplaning IS possible, but it takes speed. Going over 20 produces a risk to hydroplane, and sudden contact with water or oil causes the vehicle to 'float' for a split second then lose control.
