What causes vehicles to slide on the roads when it starts to rain?

Answer: The first rain showers cause water droplets to mix with the dirt and oils that have accumulated on the roads during the period of retention, which leads to the formation of a sticky layer between the vehicle tires and the road surface. This layer reduces the tires’ grip on the road, making it difficult for the driver to control his vehicle, even with the use of the brakes.
