Pharmacist -- The reaction times of the VDC system are the same in the wet as they are on dry pavement. What's happening is it's just taking longer for it to reign in control of the car due to the low traction conditions. It's a lot easier to regain traction on a dry road than it is on a wet one. |
Also, the rate at which you lose traction is a lot quicker in the wet than it is in the dry. Since there is less resistance on wet pavement, your wheels will spin more (or your car will slide more) before the VDC kicks in in the wet vs. dry pavement.
