The higher the speed, the greater the danger. (Will try to find this information on the Internet, where I first saw it, then post it here.)

sorry for double post. i had a friend who totalled his car doing that exact thing. cruise control was on, and he hit a puddle, tires slow down when aquaplaneing, and the computer actually hits the gas, who now your floating on water with the gas pegged to the floor, he went out of control and hit the center median and then rebounding across the road and hit a tree on the shoulder of the road.
