Is there  any truth to this?  It seems
to me that if your tires are loosing  traction during hydroplaning, how can
your car go any faster than it  already is.



I've seen similar blurbs warning folks not to drive with the cruise control  
on in the rain, which is something I never do, but never thought too much  it. 
 It rains so seldom here in SoCal that people drive extra weird and I'm  just 
more comfortable with my foot on the gas, rather than using the  control.  I 
just ran the topic through snopes.com and it seems to be a  valid 
recommendation.  Have a read at:
