It is often seen that when it just rained, there are frequent reports of accidents, and they are often continuous accidents. What is the cause? Let's find out.
The most slippery time on the road is when it just rained, and the road is still semi-dry, semi-wet, or when the rain has stopped for a while until the road is almost dry. Many people wonder, why are damp road surfaces more slippery than wet surfaces! Because water stains that are almost dry will have dust and soil particles accumulating on the surface as a film, like a good layer of moss. In fact, wet roads are also slippery, but the dust and soil particles have been washed away by the water, so it's like there's no moss. Therefore, on the surface, the density of soil particles is lower, and the tire tread's ability to drain water is better, resulting in a lower chance of slipping. However, this does not include cases of flooding or standing water, which must be avoided as they can cause hydroplaning. [Click here for details> Beware! Hydroplaning ] This also depends on several combined factors such as driving speed, vehicle weight, tire size, and tire pressure. Everything is interconnected.
A simple way to observe if the road has a high chance of being slippery is if you see a shiny surface, you should avoid it or reduce your speed immediately.
Prevention methods: Try to take a little time to check the condition of your equipment to ensure it's always ready for use. This includeschecking tire condition, tire pressure, wiper system, suspension, lighting system (headlights, high beams, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, hazard lights), staying alert, increasing distance from the car in front, because no matter how good your tires are, heavy braking can still cause skidding. It's better to leave extra space.
Just these basic steps will prevent accidents.
