Yeh, you really don't want to hit drains in the wet, they're basically like ice.

going over drains in the wet is inevetable. When your going around a corner and dont have time you should not attempt to correct your position at the last minute as it will make it worse.

Learn to control it and dont panic. The bike will slide as far as the edge of the drain cover and grip again.

Thats pretty much what i do, i think key to me not falling is not panicking, and doing like you say till i pass over the drain.
