The technical term is 'aquaplaning' or "hydroplaning".It happens because a thin film of water lifts the car's tyres off the road surface - and the vehicle loses its grip on the tarmac.

Car sleeps on wet road?
it is your tires
What is hydroplaning in car?
When the road is very wet, the tires lose contact with the road..
What happens when a car stopping distance when a road gets wet?
Less traction on a wet road so the stopping distance increases.
What does wet road conditions affect on a car?
Stopping distance
When the road is wet it takes times longer to stop?
Yes. There is less frictional force between the car tyres and a wet road surface than with a dry road surface.
In car commercials why are the roads always wet?
to show how well the car handles in "not-so-perfect" road conditions.
Why does a car move away more easily on dry road than wet?
a car itself is pretty heavy, all the weigt of it is equally divided by the four wheels. A tire of a car has carves in it to make it have more grip on the road. The cars' weigt and the grip it has on the road combined is what a car keeps from slipping on a dry road when the road is wet it has less grip on the road but still the same weigt. so when your driving the kinetic energy caused by the speed of the car and the weigt can cause the car to slip. i hope this is a good answer for you but i know i have made alot of writing errors.
What can happen to a car traveling on a wet road at 65 mph?
It can reach its destination in good order.
Which has less friction a dry road or wet road?
a wet road also see hydroplaning
Explanation why a car going around a bend wet road tend to slide off the road?
The damp road surface, plus the momentum of the car's weight going round a bend, could cause a loss of friction, resulting in a slide.
What would be the effect on a car if the road was wet?
Reduced traction especially true if tires are worn or improperly inflated
How long it will take to drive around the earth on a car?
Well, you can't. There are these pesky wet places called oceans that get in the way, and you cannot drive a car through them- they are too deep.
