the tires are made of rubber. when rubber gets wet, it gets slippery, which means less friction from the tires to the ground, making it easy for the car to keep going instead of stopping. also, a car is very heavy, so momentum definitely kicks in ALOT.
think of it this way. car tires that are dry + dry land = alot of friction and quick stopping. but make every thing slippery and the friction goes away.

Why vehicles slip on wet road?
Loss of traction poor tread depth on tires
How does wet roads help racing cars?
It doesn't wet roads take traction away from racing cars. Race cars are fastest with slick tires, when the road is wet it forces them to use threaded tires to dissplace the water. If the racers want to slide easily around corners that the wet road would be helpful
Why roads are slippery when wet?
some times because there is oil on the road from cars driving on them and when it gets wet it becomes slippery.
What is the purpose of groves on car tires?
The groves are for traction, or grip on the road. Without them, cars would slip and slide a lot more.
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.
Why are stopping distances for breaking cars increased on wet roads?
The wet road surface has less friction as the water interacts with the rubber and acts somewhat like a lubricant
Can you go off-roading in a car?
Yes. Rally cars are the extreme example of taking cars off road. But stock cars have extreme limitations to there off road capabilities. So try to keep it to the hard packed dirt and level grass(that is not to wet).
Wet floors and wet road are dangerous why?
because you might make it dirty because you might make it dirty
Which has less friction a dry road or wet road?
a wet road also see hydroplaning
Why do you tend to slip on a wet floor?
because of friction
Do all cars have a limited slip differential?
No.
Why cars skid more easily on rainy days?
because the rain makes the roads wet and slippery which then the tires cant grip the the road properly
