Practice question

Why is the road surface particularly slippery during the first few minutes of rainfall after a long dry period?

  1. Rain instantly dissolves the asphalt aggregate
  2. Rainwater mixes with accumulated oil, fuel residue, and dust on the road surface to form a slick, greasy emulsion
  3. Tire rubber becomes significantly harder when wet
  4. Atmospheric air pressure increases wheel resistance

Answer: B — Rainwater mixes with accumulated oil, fuel residue, and dust on the road surface to form a slick, greasy emulsion
