when the tires on your car actually have a layer of water between them and the road...which can cause you to veer off course and into oncoming traffic.
A good set of tires with deep grooves will help prevent hydroplaning...
Geesh, I am gay...how did I know that...the question wasn't about fashion, Madonna or decorating your house...maybe I am straight afterall. :-)

You are asking an Engineering question in R&S?
It is where the car's tires float on the water, so that there is no longer any contact between the car and the road -- making stearing & breaking difficult or impossible.

I like MES210's answer. There is a neat book for you to read about spiritual hydroplaning... "If You Want to Walk on Water, you Have to Get Out of the Boat"...
award-winning author John Ortberg teaches participants the skills essential to “water-walking” in faith with God: discerning God’s call, transcending fear, risking faith, managing failure, and trusting God.

Water is on the road in a big puddle and you go to fast and
you spin out and can have a bad accident.

Well in this category I would say it's about like walking on water, only riding on wheels.

when your car's tires lose traction and slide on a sheet of water as on a rain slick street.

It's when you glide on top of a water surface...similar to water skiing.
