Thanks. Now, if I were in a hydroplaning situation with the CC *off*, I
would immediately come off the gas pedal, not apply any brakes and let
the weight of the car bring me back into road contact.

In the same situation with CC *on* and trying to keep rotational speed
constant, that would work against me. Also, my reaction time could be
slower because I would not feel the gas pedal kicking back.
Bottom line...can we say that in inclement weather, CC should *off*?

Not only "we" but every professional driving advice
column/trainer/safety board that I have ever seen said the same.
