At what speed can Hydroplaning begin?

Hydroplaning can begin at speeds as low as 30 mph when there is standing water on the roadway. During hydroplaning, a layer of water builds up between the tires and the roadway, which can cause the vehicle to lose traction and steering control. The likelihood of hydroplaning increases with higher speeds, particularly when tires are worn or under-inflated, and when there is more water on the road. Understanding the speed at which hydroplaning can occur is crucial for drivers to maintain control of their vehicles during wet conditions, and being cautious when driving at or above this speed helps prevent accidents.
