Why can a road become especially slippery when rain first starts after dry weather?
Correct answer: Water mixes with the oil and dust left on the road.
Why
Slow early when rain begins after dry weather. Water mixes with oil, dust and other deposits on the road, making the surface slippery. Allow more room and use smooth steering, acceleration and braking. Do not assume the danger ends after a fixed number of minutes; conditions and the amount of rain vary.
