I vaguely recall noticing this. I just thought it was water blown up out of the 
groove. It might just be the driver's persective, so you would have to ask a 
passenger about it. Greg's thought about road crown also has a lot of "merit" 
because this might well affect how water collects in that groove.

Thanks for the clarification on "mudguard;" I just didn't get that at all. Do 
Austrailians use the term "wing" here also?
