Yeah I know all about that. This was different. It definitely rained hard enough around here today to eliminate that.
We had a stretch of twisty road up on LI that was repaved and immediately the accident rate during rain went through the roof. If you had driven it in the rain you could feel something was not right. They found the material used was supposed to have better dry traction but was useless in the wet.
