Rain after a prolonged dry spell can make roads extremely slippery because rubber from vehicle tyres which builds up on the road surface during dry weather becomes lubricated by the first rains and seriously reduces your tyres' grip on the road.
You can deal with this situation by:
- Staying further back from the vehicle in front
- Slowing earlier for junctions, islands, traffic lights, etc, so you don't have to brake so hard on the approach
- Not cornering as hard as you normally would even in the wet
Allow yourself, and others around you, more time to react
