When driving on wet pavement, it's important to remember:

Wet roadway surfaces can be dangerously slick, especially immediately following a rainfall. When you are driving on wet roads, your vehicle is traveling on a thin layer of oil, dirt, and water. Slow down when there is heavy rain, standing water, or slush on the road to reduce the risk of your wheels losing traction on the slick surface.

• That pavement is especially slippery right after it starts to rain.
• That wet roads can cause hydroplaning.
• To give yourself additional space when coming to a stop.
• All of the above.
