20 years back I witnessed an accident on Paver road near Bahram town. It was a rainy day . Two buses , two truck and a car had bumped into each other. The directions in which the were pointing made it very clear that they had c skidded. There was muss to on the road. On enquiry I found that the drizzle had done the damage. After the collision of a truck and two buses others bumped into them in trying to cross them by putting a set of wheels onto wet soil and then getting onto the road.
The slippery clay soil was too much for me also to negotiate on my scooter mig my wife in the pillion.
On discussing the matter with my wife's auncle who was an ex pilot of the Indian Air Force I came to know that as it starts training in drizzle the water and spilled engine oil from the vehicles forms a thin layer which makes the vehicles skid. While landing the aircraft they have to keep this thing in mind.
So if all of a sudden if it starts training in a drizzle we have to allows down or better let it rain for a few minutes and then take to the road .
The urge to get to our destination in a hurry when it has started drizzling puts us into trouble.
