I drove to Wendy's earlier and did not hydroplane.

Earlier this summer my back tires were wore as fuck. I couldnt go 50 on the interstate when it was raining without my back end getting loose (lol). Glad I got new tires a week ago, especially with all this rain. Makes my 1hr commute much easier.

Same here. Ive had it happen quite a few times where you hydroplane, but you dont lose control. Just ends up as if you skid through the puddle and come out the other side and the tires regain control. Scary everytime though...

Dont blame hydroplaning on your drinking problems.

Just don't do what my sister did and stomp on the brakes and jerk the wheel. Let off the gas and don't make any sudden movements of the wheel.
