I didn't know Canberra roads at wet conditions are deadly, especially combined with the roundabouts.
I went out at around 9:30pm, doing about 80kph on the highway and approached to a roundabout, didn't brake enough and at the exit experienced very bad understeer, hit the side kerb, and flew onto the kerb.
Damages: front left wheel significantly damaged, suspension damaged, rear wheel went flat, and a injured right arm due to the impact with the concrete kerb.
Later i went on the road and realized just how slippery it is. Later i found out with the dry climate in Canberra the oil don't tend to get washed away as often, and when it rains roads gets very slippery.
so the lesson is, drive slow, especially at wet conditions because your tyres are not working as what you would expect during dry conditions. Also im really glad i didn't hit anyone.
