Question

These black squiggly lines are slightly raised from the surface of the road, creating minor bumps. During bad weather, these bumps can become slick and slippery. Most vehicles going over them do not feel them, but the bumps can result in a precarious ride for bikers, especially if they come upon them without warning. Bikers can lose control of their bikes going over the bumps and slipping and falling. Consequently, bikers call them tar snakes, showing their disdain for the squiggly lines.

Whether they are called squiggly lines or tar snakes, it is prudent for bike fans to avoid accidents by slowing down when they see a patch in their way.
