Can a driver really be at fault for hydroplaning if the roads were wet?

Yes. Georgia law requires drivers to adjust their speed and behavior to match actual road conditions. A driver who fails to reduce speed in rain, maintains worn tires, or follows too closely can be found negligent even if the road was wet. Weather is a condition that must be accounted for — not a defense.
