Roads are the most slippery:

When it's been raining for 30 minutes or more.
After it rains.
When it first starts to rain.
All of the above.
Explanation

When rain first begins to fall, it mixes with oil, dirt, and debris on the road, creating a slick surface. This reduces the friction between your tires and the road, making it more slippery. As a result, your vehicle may lose traction, increasing the risk of skidding or hydroplaning.
