Best Answer

The road is usually slippery when a liquid or loose ground is there.

As far as natural causes...I'm thinking "Black Ice".

When it has rained for a short time all the water forms on top of dirt and oil, then mixes in.

is most slippery in the winter because of black ice and in the morning when the temperature is actually bit close to freezing because black ice forms along with slush in the morning so yes in the morniing slow down and watch out for snow, rain, anything weather wise that can affect your tires traction with the road is a threat.

*****************************************************************

When covered by a film of liquid sufficient enough to reduce the coefficient static between the tyre and the road to essentially zero, but not so deep as to introduce a new source of friction.

*****************************************************************

The first 15 minutes of rain are when the roads are the most slippery because there is not a layer of water completely covering the road.
