Drivers in the rain

Why is it that people drive stupidly slowly when there is even a hint of water on the roads? Why? I'm not advocating speed or tailgating (both of which I hate) but a little common sense and absence of fear of wet roads would not go amiss during rush hour. We are, after all, in northern Europe.

  1. If it's any consolation it happens here too. There is something about rain and driving that turns the average person's brain to mush.

  2. Hey Vanilla :)

    It's odd, isn't it? People just seem half asleep.

    Thank heavens we are having some dry weather – nine degrees, too! – so people may wake up a bit and feel safe when exceeding 2mph on a slightly damp road surface!
