There are several causes for hydroplaning. 1. Driving to fast in the rain. 2. Water to deep on roadway. 3. Tires to worn out to drive on. ( no tread wear left ) 4. Driving right after a long drought and the water brings the oil to the surface of the road causing the road to be slick. 5. Turning your steering wheel to fast to make a turn in the rain. 6. Improper air pressure in tires. 7. Wrong type of tires on car or truck.

What causes hydroplaning in a car?
Hydroplaning is like water skiing. You need standing water on the roadway, not just moisture, and the necessary speed which is determined using tire pressure and math. The hydroplaning speed for tires at 32 psi is approximately 51 mph minimum. If you hit standing water at any speed other than a crawl you most likely will experience handling problems and possible loss of control.
