I see that a lot of the "complaints" come from areas that are generally dry, and when it does rain, the roads are slippery.
It's commonly accepted that roads, when it first rains are more slick because of the buildup on the road in the form of rubber and oils. Whereas in the PNW, where it's wet more frequently, and the rubber and oils are washed away more frequently, we'd have less issues.
Now that doesn't go to say that it doesn't get slick up here, it does, very slick! I've learned to adjust my driving habits.

I’m not sure if that’s really a factor. Most drivers in California are aware of this when the first rains come in October or November. The local news are always all over this.
It would be interesting thought if we could get people to state when and where there slip and sliding occurs. If most incidents have this happen to Californa during October/November it would prove your assumption, just need data. However, I’m starting to believe it has more to do with the type of asphalt people are driving on. I think some types are more prone to slipping when wet.
