Something everyone who uses a road should know.

It's not ice though is it, and by calling it summer ice some people will immediately turn off because you only get ice in summer down south.

And then they say having tread will help so if you have new tyres you might as well disregard it. Yeah that thread helps displace the water. But there's sod all water on a damp road.

Allegations of pedophilia, a missing yacht, sightings in the Pacific Is.

Yep, it was like living in a TV plot.

Yeah I got that notice from NZTA. It actually annoyed me though, for it's not a new phenomenon and inventing a new name for something every road user should be familiar with already...ggrrrrr :rolleyes:

A little presumptuous to think 'every road user' knows of this...

unfortunately too many of those who know "stuff-all" are on the road...

and for many the only thing that keeps them on the road is the electronic wizardry...

When in my youth as CHCH inner city apartment dweller, I used to chuckle at the inevitability of the ensuing carnage at the lights below that followed during the first few hours of drizzel after a dry spell.... sreccchhhhhhhhhhh squeeeellll ......... Bang..
(Never a glass beaking crush noise like the movies)

Yeah ok, I should maybe mention it shows inexperience (or lack of training) if one doesn't know about this aspect. I remember some years back when on holiday on two wheels in the southern part of Europe, end of summer and the first rain shows...the experienced riders just found the nearest rest stop and had a leisurely meal. Healthier and cheaper in the long run :msn-wink:
