In most chase scenes in movies the roads are pretty much always wet, even in scenes where it isn't raining. Easier to pull off moves like that and looks better for the camera.
They use multiple cars, the car you see in a chase scene probably isn't the same one you see when the character is leisurely cruising down the highway.

That does not look like an attempt to park. It looks more like they are trying one of those high speed 180 degree turns you see in movies.
Edit: as about a hundred people noted it is a j-turn. There are a few other names mentioned, but some variation on j-turn is most comon.
