A vehicle "hydroplanes" when the tires encounter enough water on the road that the tires loose traction with the pavement and actually begin to "plane" or ride on top of the water, much like a boat. In a sense you are actually floating on water.

What should you do if your car hydroplanes?
If your car hydroplanes or aquaplanes, there are two things you should not do, even though they might be instinctive: do not brake, and do not turn the steering wheel hard to correct the car's course.Firstly, keep calm, and gently ease off the accelerator. Try to gently steer your car along the course of the road - remember not to overcompensate by turning the steering wheel too hard against the direction the car is moving. When you can feel the tyres on the road again, gently brake with a small amount of pressure, ease off and brake again, gently. Repeat these steps as needed until you have control of the car again.After such an experience, go to a tyre specialist and see if it is time for you to replace your tyres. The tread may have worn down too much to give you the friction you need.
