Explanation
When it begins to rain after a period of dry weather, roads can become extremely slippery due to the oil and debris on the road surface mixing with the water. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced during the initial 10 to 15 minutes of a rainstorm. The rainwater causes the oil in the asphalt to rise to the surface, creating hazardous conditions for drivers.
