There's water falling from the sky:
Did someone throw it?
7(16.7%)
If driving when this occurs:
Slow down a bit, so you have more time to see and steer
25(59.5%)
Use your cellphone to tell your friends about this strange phenomenon
6(14.3%)
Go really really really fast so that the water can't hurt you!
11(26.2%)
And remember:
California law now says headlights are required in any weather where you use your windshield wipers
14(33.3%)
The faster you hit a puddle, the better the splash. Go for height!
17(40.5%)
If you put a custom spoiler on your car, you are immune from the laws of physics.

No, my commute didn't suck this morning because of idiots, why do you ask? |

I'm just hoping the crusty stuff on my car washes off... | (Link)

or doesn't at least get worse!
put gas in the car last night (first time in four weeks because I've been on the road so much)....MLD
note: The sun is peeking through the clouds in Santa Clara
My morning commute sucked because of idiot drivers, but that's par for the course in Toronto. I can't wait for it to start snowing. :P
Try driving in the first snow storm of the year. Shudder. I know I can't drive in the stuff, but the 4 wheel drive guys think that makes them invincible.
*grin* I took BART in to work. It's warm enough, and I have a raincoat.
I gave you cynical answers :) California drivers + rain are like Texas drivers + snow.
I bought new tyres yesterday, they're supposed to reduce aquaplaning, just waiting for a chance to try them out now! *muhahahahaha*
Seriously, wet weather in the UK makes BMWs crash! This is because they are:-
A, driven by wankers.
B, rear wheel drive! (been nearly hit twice by BMWs losing back end in the wet!)
Awww, and the first leg was so uneventful!
Did you get back on 880?
OMGWTFH2O
You made me laugh
Having just moved out here and not in the rainy season yet, I've only had one experience with wet pavement in the bay area. Just a light mist, the pavement was sorta wet, I was stopped at a stoplight.. and upon the green light, I started hydroplaning like mad. I'm from Massachusetts and drive easily in rain and snow, but I'm no match for pavement with 6 months of unwashed oil becoming moist again. At least in the northeast, no matter what time of the year it is, that stuff gets washed off the road at least weekly by rainstorms. | |
