Comment

If rain sets in after prolonged drought, a dangerous film of lubricant forms on the road, which is only washed away after a long period of rain. This film is more dangerous than rain alone. Brake very carefully. This lubricating film is also deposited on the windscreen. After turning on the windscreen wipers, it first worsens the view drastically. The braking distance is extended by the poorer traction.
