HydroPlaning in heavy rain is an issue that has been talked about for 50 years and yet the driver ignored the issue.
They thought they were invincible.
Wonder if there was water pooling in the area due to inadequate draining for the conditions. And the driver was blindsided by adverse hydroplaning conditions. I’ve gone through many conditions like that(unintentionally and lucky, too.)
Caution, after any heavy rain, comes from driving experience.
When on an interstate or expressway after a heavy rain, most experienced drivers do not use "Cruise control" even while driving long distances.
Never use "crusie control" after any heavy rain or during snowy conditions.
