Safe even on rainy days! – Grooving

Recently, there were days when it rained more than in 3 days in the past, making the roads very wet and causing many skidding accidents.

But what caused them?

One of the reasons, besides not keeping the following distance and relative speeding, is the frequently mentioned aquaplaning phenomenon, which can cause your car to go out of control.

Rainwater on the pavement can sometimes be slow to drain off the pavement, thus forming a “water film”. If you arrive here at high speed, your car will lose contact with the road surface.

Considering this, we cut grooves in the pavement with special machines. This is the so-called grooving.

Why is this good?

It is good because it allows water to disappear quickly from underneath the tyre as it hits the water film, preventing it from “floating up” and causing an accident, making driving safer.

This is not to mean, however, that where we do this kind of work it will be impossible to skid!

Always drive at reduced speed on wet roads!

Currently, we are performing grooving works on several sections, please watch out for the workers there!
