Why not do it when the conditions are also bad (bad visibility, lots of water), why only in hailstorms?
Also, arent hailstorms usually accompanied by little to no rain (rain usually follows a hailstorm, not the other way around, idk/afaik)?
And if aquaplaning is a serious concern (in the current millennium) you are either driving way too fast for your car & tires or have really bad (or ornamental) tires.
Sure, road quality is a factor too, but if you adjusted your speed to the conditions, you would see any giant rivers/lakes in the middle of the road.
Generally you should anticipate aquaplaning at basically any moment - and adjust the speed to that.
(That is counting on how capable you car electronics are to compensate for basic stability & the fact that aquaplaning is not something you would expect to go on for 100+ meters – that’s a lake, you should be able to spot it in time or you are again driving too fast for the visibility.)
The speed limit doesn’t tell you how fast you can drive in any conditions.
(But modern highways will automatically lower speed limits if conditions are that bad, or at least try to, so there is less idiots driving at full speed bcs that is what they are used to.)
(Also, I didn’t know modern windshields crack into more pieces what the old ones - structurally afaik they remained the same, and idk what legislature would show then to crack worse. Do you have any info on that? I don’t know what to look for. Just looking at random pics it might be brand/money dependant unfortunately. Like with most such things, there are huge price differences between windshields, OEM vs third party too.)
