Answer:

Any bridge is tricky in wet conditions. The cooler the temperature, the less grip your tires will have. Slick tread might have a tiny bit less grip on the wood surface than something with treads but not a whole lot. At cycling speeds, bicycles do not hydroplane. Because wood is porous, it will retain moisture for a long time and remain slippery. You just have to learn to go much slower on that bridge all the time and particularly when it has rained. You can use your front brakes to help stop, but you have to practice applying then gently. Of course, if you had slowed down before the bridge there would have been no reason for panic. I have no idea what sort of streets you might be commuting on, so can't comment on how unsafe it might be, but it does sound as if your parents are overreacting somewhat. Studded tires are good on ice, but offer less traction on dry pavement than unstudded tires. For maximum grip on slippery surfaces see if you can find tires made with an extra soft rubber compound which will offer better traction in colder weather. That is how winter tires for cars provide better traction in winter conditions. Along with more aggressive tread patterns, softer rubber compounds improve traction in frigid conditions
Ok I have a 2000 mercury mountaineer, every time I start it is goes through a series of beeps, 5 beeps puase and 5 beeps it does this three times. Now it started doing this at random times while driving. Very odd cannot find any info on this. Please helpnthis gets really anoying.. Thanks
Don't listen to the guy in the first post, he's probably some chump mecahnic who needs more business. Anyways, the first thing to do is have the timing belt changed. It's amazing how many people dont know that power locks are part of the driveterrain system. Next, make sure your windshield wipers work, if not, open up the hood, remove the engine heads and pour in about 10 grams of baking soda. If this doesn't solve your problem, then I would suggest changing the steering wheel. Becareful that you dont have the airbags explode on you while doing this. P.S Make sure you use arm and hammer baking soda, not that cheap k mart stuff.
