Holy *****, people can't drive in the rain at night!

I had to run out to the store and it was less than 3 miles. OMG, people were driving off the road, crossing into the other lane, pulling out in front of people, driving 20 mph below the speed limit and best of all, the lady in front of me was in the right lane with her left blinker on trying to make a left at a light! If you can't see in the rain at night, don't go out!

Everyone just slows down here, I guess thats a good thing though. Although in the BCC parking lot, someone backed into a parked car and made a big scene.

I think if everyone drove an fbody, people would learn to drive civilized VERY quickly in the rain. I mean don't get me wrong - love our handling... but in the rain our traction and overall driving performance isn't quite up to snuff

you think fbodies are bad in the rain you should drive my miata...being its rwd it has all the dissadvantages of that not to mention being so light it can catch no traction...no antilock brakes. Also wind, my lord, little gusts make it feel like the cars gonna fly away lol...also there are tons of blind spots with the top up that i have to deal with.

especially if you got crappy worn out tires, that makes for one hell of a ride

I have trouble seeing the lines on the road in the rain...they aren't reflective enough. My entire trip home from Rider up here I was in other lanes because I couldn't see the lines. Not to mention I was in the benz which is slightly bigger than my Hyundai heh. Oh well.

yes, woman = horrible driver, but that doesn't mean all men are excellent drivers, and me saying I don't drive like a woman doesn't mean I think I'm a man or that I drive like one. I just don't drive like a stereotypical woman driver, that's all. Doesn't mean I'm an excellent driver, or that I think I'm god when it comes to driving.

i dislike driving at night...driving at night in the rain for me is the worst though...my vision sux but even with my glasses between the glare from the other cars and not being able to see the lines on the road it makes driving very interesting lol
