For those whom have to drive in the rain & slippery roads:-
1. DO NOT SPEED. Most roads are relatively smooth & are NOT dirt tracks, but at high speeds & WORSE, if new tyres, the car is actually NOT touching the road, but floating above it. NO brakes, traction control, 4 Wheel drive or hand brakes will save you as the car is NOT an aircraft with ailerons or rudder with ability to move on air.
2. Once the car is 'on air', one's only hope is dependence on GRAVITY, the mere few inches between car & road - to TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, while in safer 2 Wheel Drive, NOT pulling the handbrake, stepping on brakes & worse - DO NOT ENGAGE the 4WD as it will make it worse with FAR wider turning & tyre spinning angles, & HOPE for the best that gravity & the MOMENTUMN of the speeding car will be slowed down thru gravity & air resistance from tyres....
Thus, DO NOT SPEED on wet smooth roads or wet surfaces, keep to below 60km/hr with safe distance between cars for REACTION control, & when with NEW tyres, to save one's & others' lives...
