•  Hydroplaning (tires)

  Hydroplaning or aquaplaning by the tires of a road vehicle occurs when a layer of water builds between the rubber tires of the vehicle and the road surface, leading to the loss of traction and thus preventing the vehicle from responding to control inputs such as steering, braking or accelerating. If it occurs along all four wheels, the vehicle becomes, in effect, an uncontrolled sled. Hydroplaning also affects aircraft tires in contact with a wet runway and rollercoasters on a wet track.
