Honest it slips around like a chod in the pot.

This could be from poor wheel barrings or ball joints. you should take it to a mechanic, it may be potentially unsafe.

Tires........ er... tyres most likely. Some roads get very slick when wet. Some tyres are made of hard rubber~different compounds for different purposes. Ask the tyre shop man about rain tyres.
Here's something I betcha didn't know. Every tire (and tyre) is made of 1 molecule of rubber. True fact!
What is a chod?
And shouldn't that kidney be used as a transplant instead of in a pie? (Nyuk! That's a joke, boy.)

you dont say what vehicle you have. eg rear engined cars in the past were notorious for bad performance under wet conditions such as the vw beatle. daf and the hillman imp. generally accepted forces before breakdown are .65 g dry and.4 g when wet. this applies to acceleration braking and cornering equally. g = gravity @ 9. 81 metres a second - 2

I hate to state the obvious but since the one thing that has more influence on wet weather peformance than all other factors combined is your tires.
If your sliding around, that is the first place to look for a culprit.

could be the tyres are badly worn and you could be aqua planing or there not correctly inflated or it could be that the tracking is out or something to do with the rear suspension arm.
lose or worn ball joints have tendensy to make a slide a bout alot but this would happen even in the dry.

If your car is a front wheel drive car, check to see if the front two tires are the same...different tread patterns will create different grips on the road, and if the roads are wet, then that causes a problem.
Next, check your tire treads...make sure they are of safe levels...

I also recommend checking the tread depth of your tires. If/when you get new tires have your alignment checked. Poor wheel alignment such as to much toe in/out can cause this on wet/ icy pavement also.

Perhaps your tires need replacing, or at the very least, rotating. You want the tires with more grip on the front, especially if you have a front wheel drive car.

Is it rear wheel drive or are your tyres worn out?
