You need to learn how to drive the car differently than a FWD car in the rain.
In a FWD car, when the roads are slick and you go around a turn a little too fast, the FRONT tires lose traction and the car pushes out of the turn. To correct for this, you reduce speed and continue to turn the wheels in the direction of the turn. (so a right turn, car starts to slide, you keep the wheel turned to the right. This is called understeer.)
A RWD car reacts differently when it loses traction around a turn. The REAR wheels push out, causing the car to start to spin. In a right hand turn, the way to correct for this is to turn LEFT during the slide. (this is called oversteer)
In EITHER case though, you pretty much always point the tires in the direction you want to go. With a RWD car that is spinning, this requires you to turn the wheel the opposite way. Watch the Pixar movie "Cars" to get it.
