Explanation

Slippery Roads. Slow down at the first sign of rain, especially after a dry spell. This is when many roads are the most slippery, because oil and dust have not washed away. A slippery road will not give your tires the grip they need. Drive more slowly than you would on a dry road. Adjust your speed as follows: • Wet road – go 5 to 10 mph slower. • Packed snow – reduce your speed by half. • Ice – slow to a crawl.
