Does cruise control make hydroplaning more dangerous or increase the chance of hydroplaning?
When it is raining, the chances of hydroplaning are higher. You see, the cruise control makes every attempt to maintain a set speed. When hydroplaning occurs, the tires lose traction, and as such the car starts to slow down, then the cruise control kicks in suddenly trying to accelerate the car back to the set speed. The cruise control does not know the road conditions or if it is raining, snowing or you are floating on a lake ... it only knows the speed set point and will always do everything it can to achieve that set speed, no matter what. Best advice when it's raining - turn the cruise control off.
