So I doubt it will be a major factor. After all, they do have occasional rain in Germany.
To be fair, the amount of standing water in highways in the US is completely different than in western Europe.

Anywhere in Spain for example they use draining asphalt on highways that allows the surface to be wet but you don't find puddles.

I didn't really understand aquaplanning until I moved here
