Once you hydroplane you have no control anymore, just going along for the ride.

I realize it was MY fault, but there was nothing I could do about it.
I seriously doubt that anybody in here would tell you that they hydroplaned going 20mph... ever. Were your tires bald?

okay that is a douchebag thing to say you don't know if he's lying, how his tires are (fronts look bad in the pics), how the road was, etc. that's why they're called accidents.

I believe that is a standard assumption anytime there is a single car accident.

is there anyway that you can fight those tickets? or at least the going too fast for condition tickets?? show the judge those pictures lol... you couldn't have been going over 20 by the looks of it.. cops suck sometimes, but it might be mandatory for him to write you a ticket like that as bramas kinda stated above

im always nervous in the rain when im taking a turn for this exact reason. sometimes you never know if the car is going to grab, or if you are going to hit too much water and just slide... at least you're ok and you can get a sickkkkk front end..
