I saw the aftermath of a lady in an EK civic who drove off the road and hit a tree on the eastbound Bridgeport exit.

I've never understood this "slippery road" phenomenon when it 1st starts raining that people speak of?
Sure there's a thin layer of oil on the roads, but does traction drop 75% or something as soon as it rains or something? Either that or I just don't drive my car very hard.
I never even notice it on my motorcycle. Road still feels the same.

| some people buy cheap tires that don't disperse rain water very well and add that to some oil slick, shitty driver and you have a combo for an accident.
Also people tend to run their tires down to near bald to save money...that also adds to problems... Quote:
