Exclamation Wet White Lines + Wet Leaves! Drats!

Be careful out there... those white lines on the roads where there are stopsigns and stop lights, can be rather slick. As well as wet leaves. I find out that they can really slow you up when you take off.

All other models, resume slipage as usual.

Let us know when you have a full report on whether or not the yellow lines are slippery, too.

You are supposed to stop before the stop bar not on it.

Or did the road look like this?

Yes, those pesky yellow lines are slippery, too.

Also, the road looked exactly like that too in the middle of the city. People didn't know whether it was to pass, or not, to stop or not, etc.

I'm glad you all got a chuckle out of it.
