What are the clear marks left on pavement where moisture has been removed by a sliding tire?

The correct choice reflects the phenomenon where moisture on the pavement is displaced by a sliding tire, creating visible markings. Squeegee marks occur when a tire skids across a wet surface, effectively "squeegeeing" the water away from the area where the tire has made contact. This action leaves behind a line or a mark that is indicative of the tires' movement and the moisture removal process.

Understanding these marks is essential in accident investigations, as they can provide valuable insights into the dynamics of the incident, including speed, direction, and perhaps the tire condition at the time of the event. While other terms like water lines, friction marks, and blacked out marks may describe different types of surface indicators, they do not specifically refer to the marks created by the action of a sliding tire removing moisture.
