Have a safe drive this weekend during inclement weathers. Make sure your tires can handle rain or snow as appropriate. Helping a friend with a flipped over car in the rain just now. Everyone is safe.

remind your boy that wet roads don't handle the same as dry roads and you gotta slow down.

also in general people need to learn to give proper spacing on the highway, I drove down to Atlanta Wednesday morning and multiple jackass's kept pulling in front of me with less then a car length between my front bumper and their rear bumper (and about the same between them and the car in the other lane they wanted to go around but didn't wanna wait till I had passed it first), then some of these assholes started slowing down in the fast lane, seriously defensive driving and Drivers Ed should be mandatory classes to get a license and people should have to retake the road test every 5 years.

it's just how it is down here unfortunately. We RARELY experience rain here so when it does, it's like people driving in uncharted territory.

doesn't help that so many people drive with worn down tires, wiper blades that are dry rotted, etc because noone changes them because it rarely rains.

I get that, we get the same thing when it Snows around here, at best we see 3-4 days of snow a year IF we even see snow and people keep slowing down when they should be accelerating and end up not being able to climb the hill then sliding off into the ditch when they start spinning because they basically came to a stop on an incline.

It's not wrong though is it?

Not at all my friend. But, sometimes there are more important things than being right.

yeah like driving SAFE and not pulling in front of a car when you have at best a car length of clearance when driving at 70+ MPH or pulling in front of a car then slowing below the speed limit in the passing lane.

Living in Florida in the winter isn’t fun either with the holiday season snowbird season yes the weather is great but these idiots on the road would manage to flip their SUVs and high end cars on their sides on a dry road. Can’t wait to summer yes it’s hot as hell and rains a lot but less idiots on the road
