d. Thats when the water starts to evaporate and the oil in the road is brought up and makes everything slick.

B. when it first starts to rain after a dry spell. All off the oil is raised to the surface and sitting on top of the water and hasnt had a chance leave the road yet. Maybe you studying for your driving test, but remember when it first starts to rain, there is a very big difference in the way your car will stop and handle a turn. Ive lost control a few times and slid out and hit a curb on the other side of the road during the first rain. Watch yourself.

They are most slippery when (B) it first starts to rain after a dry spell.
The reason for this is that the oil on the road and the rain mix which causes a thin layer of oil on water until it has rained enough and washed all the oil off the road.

B
After a long dry spell the oil in the road comes to the top,so the road will be very slippery.The first rain of the year is the worse.I have found if you know its going to rain and your just driving in town to lower the air pressure in your tires a few pounds it helps keep your tires on the road so you get better traction.I've been a 4wheeler for years and that is what we do when going over Hugh rocks.The tires grip much better. HOPE that helps

B. There is oil on the roads from tires. When it starts to rain, it sets on top of this oil. Which makes it as slippery, if not more than ice. Remember a lite shower will not wash these oils off. It take around 15 minutes of a good rain to do this. Of course you then have to watch for hydroplaning.

B
Just at the beginning of a rain the water is starting to mix with all of the oils on the road making it the most dangerous.

'B'.
Roads are covered with a film of rubber compound, oils, lubricants, antifreeze and hundreds of other slippery substances that rise to the surface of the roadbed when it begins to rain after a dry spell. Frequent rains keep the roads fairly clean of debris and oils.

B) Personal Experience and thats what the drivers manual says too. When it first starts to rain the road is like oil for the first twety minutes.

B, all the old oil and slippery muck just sits there, and when it first rains, it all emulsifies again creating problems for everyone, even in NASCAR.
Why didn't you pick black ice? That stuff will turn your hair gray!
