Emergency stops were part of cycling proficiency, I'd have thought they still are in Bikeability.
Id have thought wet roads mean you need more weight over the front to stop quicker, not less. You need more skill not to have the front wash out sideways but better traction and grip comes from more weight. The point at which you have too much weight over the front is the point of endo, that comes later on wet roads.
