Explanation
Road surfaces are especially slippery during the first few minutes of rainfall. Water mixes with oil, rubber particles, dust, and other debris, creating a dangerous, slick film that reduces tire traction. This makes it harder to maintain control on curves and increases stopping distances. During this early phase of rain, it's crucial to slow down, drive cautiously, and adjust to the reduced grip on the road.
