A tip for complete newbies : Wet Roads Dont Stick

[jim.cox]

A tip for complete newbies & at the risk of teaching my Grandmother to suck eggs...

Wet roads are slippery :(

Traffic markings, tram lines & utility covers doubly so

And even more so if it hasn't rained for a while.

First significant rain in Chch for weeks

Lots of diesel and oil on the roads

I locked up front & rear brakes and slid both wheels this morning avoiding a blind motorist

Take care out there

yerrr
white lines are def. the ice sheet of death when wet

and the rest! rain is kind-of natures evil-trickster-lube

Nahh it aint the rain thats the problem. Its the shit that the rain floats up thats the problem.
