It can rain here for a week straight or more sometimes. And people still panic and crash. I remember when I was in high school, a friend of mine had just gotten a fairly new Accord. On the way to school, there was a 15+ car pileup (15+ because it was at 15 when he got caught in it...it kept going for about an hour after he left...kids are stupid). He stopped in time. The girl behind him did not.
Everyone goes about 35 on the freaking freeway if its raining around here. Its annoying as hell. I can easily do 75 safely in my front drive car. It doesn't slide a bit. I don't mean everyone should go 75 in the rain...hell no, we'd all die. But if you are going less than 65, get the hell out of the passing lane!!! Some dude was doing 45 in the passing lane there was no room for me to get over and pass him from the right and only morons cut people off in the rain, so I flashed the guy with my brights. He got over, I passed him, and then he got right back over. When he moved back over, he cut off another car and nearly caused a pileup. All the while this bastard is flipping me off!!! He just stayed in that lane, at 45, while car after car after car had to cross all four lanes of traffic to get past him and the 45 mph wall he was helping to form.
