Wet Weather

We are finally getting some rain in Northwestern, NJ, so I thought it was a good time to bring up driving in wet weather.

Why does everyone slow down to a ludicrous speed when it rains? I was driving to work this morning when the forecast called for heavy rainstorms throughout the day. A trail of 10 cars followed behind someone going 12 mph in a 35 mph zone. Why? The rain was nowhere near us yet.

Do you notice that certain drivers, like those in front of you, drive super slow when it rains? Why? Do they think that by driving slowly, they can count every drop of rain that strikes their vehicle? Is this superslow driving really safe, especially for those cars behind you? We have minimum speeds on the highway that one must maintain, and maybe we need the same for our local roads to remove those unsuitable for driving. It is one thing to drive with caution, and it is another thing to drive with fear. If you go with fear, you are a danger to everyone else on the road.

 Stay off the roads if you are not courageous enough to drive at an appropriate speed.
