roads allways feel slippery under foot now in the rain,sliding my sole of my shoe over them i can almost skate on them, im surprised that a vehicle can stay on them.
and do you notice how many cars including mine with great tyres on them usually wheel spin when leaving traffic lights/round abouts

And don’t go to heavy on the throttle aswell.
Probably be best if he didnt go out in the rain full stop 
it’s because dare i say it , the roads have been dry for a long while & all the rubber from the tyres is on the road surface , when it gets wet or damp the friction from the tyres is less anyway , added to the rubber residue on the road surface it can get a little greasy giving you the impression of a slippery road , just back off the loud pedal for a bit till it all gets grippy again 
is grippy a word ?

I’m not sure I should ask this but … how do you get on when there’s snow or frost on the roads ? 
The road making materials have changed over the years.The content of tarmac is very different these days.I think hgv1 is right,the roads are more slippery.They aren’t maintained as well which doesn’t help.

This^ My sons, both in the recovery business, love it when we have a dry spell then it a little rain as the work comes rolling in recovering numpties vehicles from ditches and fields. Every cloud and all that.

If it isn’t it should be, it’s a good word.
A lot of roads have been resurfaced in SMA - Smooth or Stone Mastic Ashphalt.
This causes problems to vulnerable road users, such as motor cyclists and horses. 
There have been campaigns since 2004 to stop it being used on roads where it could cause a hazard to such road users
Extract from an article in Horse & Hound in 2004:
"First developed in Germany in the 1960s, stone mastic asphalt was tested in the UK in the mid-Nineties and quickly became a popular road surface because it is very durable and reduces noise. Until recently, it was only used on major carriageways but it has now been rolled out to all roads at the behest of the Highways Agency.
However, stone mastic asphalt is slippery and can prove dangerous to horses. “It is so slippery it’s like glass,” says Sheila Hardy, the BHS (British Horse Society) Head of Safety.
Alerted by a growing number of members reporting incidents, the BHS started looking into the problem and discovered that the material, which is made to EU standard, has commonly been used on the Continent where it hasn’t given any headache to riders and horses.
The problem, Hardy thinks, is that the mixture used in Britain is slightly different and it is laid out differently.
“If it works in Europe, why doesn’t it work here?” she asks. “It’s something the UK are doing at the time of the final coat dressing which is wrong. If it was put down properly so it gave adhesion to horse hooves, it would be fine.”
I guess if it’s slippery to horses and motorcycles, it would also give less traction to other vehicles, or pedistrians trying to legitimately cross a road.
So it may not just be your imagination, or the weather! 
I think they are.
You don’t have the Rain in Britain other Country have,where the Rain washes the Road clean.
we also have at beginning of Rain slippery when Water with Dust mixes,but after a few Minutes is the Dust washed away.
