It's more about the condition of the roads in this country. Some are terrible in the dry and the same in the wet and others that are good in the dry get a drop of rain and turn into an ice rink. Thats before all the holes and random bumps everywhere.

I was driving in the damp/wet last week entirely normally at low speed behind an AstraVXR. going round the inside lane of a big roundabout and suddenly found I was going very sideways (DCT on) while he just pootled round as normal. Not really accellerating or anything. It was fun though as it was so controlable at such a low speed. That was all due to the road surface which could be quite dangerous in another car/situation.
