Yes, you could. Most likely the ticket would be overdriving the road conditions.

Second Answer: You could get a ticket for failure to drive defensively and failure to slow down in the rain. The cop would have to see you doing the irresponsible driving that caused the hydroplaning.

NO, hydroplaning itself would not be an offence, imagine how hard it would be to spot, You would be prosecuted for the offence that caused you to hydroplain if you had an accident that was found to be caused by it, usually it is caused by low tyre tread.

If the rain was particularly bad and the surface water particularly deep then dangerous driving might be the charge if you were driving too fast and crashed.

What speed increment can make the difference between hydroplaning and not hydroplaning?

The speed increment that can make the difference between hydroplaning and not hydroplaning typically ranges from 30 to 35 miles per hour (48 to 56 kilometers per hour) on wet roads. Hydroplaning occurs when a vehicle's tires lose contact with the road surface due to water accumulation, and this risk increases significantly as speed rises. Maintaining lower speeds in wet conditions can help prevent hydroplaning, especially when water depth is greater than the tire tread depth.
