What does this sign with skid marks warn you about?
The rule
A Slippery When Wet sign means: when the pavement is wet, reduce your speed, don't brake hard or change direction suddenly, and leave more distance to the car ahead.
A Slippery When Wet sign marks road that becomes slick when wet. Slow down, don't brake hard and don't change direction suddenly.
From the Virginia Driver's Manual, section 2, page 8. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
