Commonly, a hydroplane is a type of watercraft equipped with hydrofoils allowing it to skim the water at high speeds; however, a hydroplane may also be an airplane that can land on or take off from water.
Although to hydroplane is to skim across the surface of water, common usage expands the definition to include the skimming of an object across the surface of any liquid fluid.

If you drive too fast when the roads are wet you risk the chance of hydroplaning. This is when the tires on your car are not making contact with the road. It's almost as if your car is water skiing!

If you speed on the road when it first starts raining there is a 90% chance you will hydroplane.

Sure; "I was driving on a wet road when my car began to hydroplane." Hydroplaning is similar to driving on ice.

While driving on I-95 in the heavy downpour, my tires began to hydroplane and my car careened out of control.

If you apply your brakes too heavily while driving on a rain soaked road, your car may hydroplane.

If too much water coats my wheels I will eventually hydroplane which will result in a crash and crashing in the rain is a *****.
