haha you can still hydroplane (sliding on water when wheels dont have traction) But you dont need to worry about hydrolocking your engine

well, i don't think that your problem will be hydroplaning if you drive into a lake. your problem will be pretty obvious.

and i think he just typed hydroplane on accident

+1 - The problem isn't the hydroplaning... It's what's going to happen when you STOP hydroplaning...

Don't drive through massive puddles at to fast of speeds? for one thing you shouldn't be driving that fast to be able to hydroplaning, and if you are going a decent speed you should be able to drive around the puddle. If you're still afraid Don't Drive.
