Rainy Weather 

It never ceases to amaze me how drastically driving skills deteriorate when it rains. I’m not talking about the speed demons who think they’re training for NASCAR—I mean the drivers who slow to a crawl at the first sight of raindrops.

Last week, we had a serious downpour. I expected a slightly more challenging commute, but I didn’t realize the real test would be my patience, not the road conditions. For 15 minutes, I was stuck behind a driver too terrified to approach the speed limit, braking at every slight curve as if the road were made of ice. When I finally reached the highway, I hoped for relief—only to find the slowest drivers clinging to the left lane, tapping their brakes every few seconds like they were keeping time with a song on the radio.

It was clear: these people were scared. It was as if they were experiencing rain for the first time.

Here’s the thing—driving while scared is dangerous. It doesn’t just put you at risk; it endangers everyone around you. If you’re uncomfortable driving in certain conditions, be honest with yourself. I know I’m not great in the snow, so I avoid driving in it whenever possible. That’s not weakness; that’s self-awareness.

So, be smart. Be safe. And if rain makes you a hazard on the road, consider another way to travel.
