I agree with black line Ninja - when its wet slow down. I have briefly aquaplaned and it was really scary as the steering just went. Thankfully the grip returned just before I slewed into the barrier. This taught me that I was not invincible and I've been careul in the wet ever since.

If you are driving through a flood never take your foot off the throttle or the water will be sucked up the exhaust into the engine! Ride the clutch if you have to but keep them revs up.
