Explanation
Hydroplaning occurs when a thin layer of water builds up between the tires of a vehicle and the road surface, causing the tires to lose contact with the road. When this happens, your tires will start to ride up on the water like water skis. Without sufficient contact with the road, the tires are unable to grip the surface, leading to a loss of traction and control.
