Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: During the first rain or when there is mud or oil on the road.
During the first rain after a dry period, water mixes with oil, dust and rubber residue that built up on the road, forming a slippery film. Mud or oil on the road also sharply reduces tyre grip. In such conditions, slow down, keep a longer following distance and avoid sudden braking or steering. A dry road gives good grip, and fog mainly affects visibility.
