Hydroplaned: meaning, definitions and examples
🚗💦
hydroplaned
[ ˈhaɪdroʊˌpleɪnd ]
driving situation
To hydroplane refers to the phenomenon that occurs when a vehicle loses traction on a wet surface due to the presence of water. When this happens, the tires can no longer grip the road, causing the vehicle to slide uncontrollably. Hydroplaning often occurs at higher speeds and can be particularly hazardous if the driver is unprepared. It is essential for drivers to understand how to regain control if they find their vehicle hydroplaning.
Synonyms
Examples of usage
- The car hydroplaned on the slick highway.
- He lost control of the vehicle when it hydroplaned during the rain.
- Hydroplaning can happen even at moderate speeds on standing water.

Etymology
The term 'hydroplane' originates from the Greek word 'hydro', meaning water, and the Latin root 'planus', meaning flat or level. The concept of hydroplaning became notable in the early 20th century, especially with the rise of the automobile. As cars became more common and road conditions varied, the phenomenon of losing traction became more relevant. Over time, research into vehicle dynamics led to a better understanding of how tires interact with wet surfaces, solidifying the term in driving safety discussions. Hydroplaning is now widely recognized in driver education as a critical topic for safe driving in rain or wet conditions.
