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.
