Speed is a factor in the ease of slippage of a rail car wheel on
a wet track.

Of course it is Peter, if 'speed' weren't involved then there'd
be no slippage would there now?. You can't have slippage without
speed being involved can you?

My point is that there must be a certain speed attained by a tire
before there can be a wedge of water forced between the tire and
the road surface to attain that condition known as hydroplaning.
