Then i thought about it and remembered back to my driver training days nearly 20 years ago. The road is most slippery at the beginning of a rain as that is the time when the oils in the road are brought to the surface. These oils run off/breakdown as the rain continues leaving a less slick road.
I quickly rediscovered this fact in the summer. I was flying down the hill on my bike, it had just started to drizzle. Don't hit a corner at speed when it has just started raining. Needless to say, I got this question right.
