Driving in the rain

It's been raining. A lot. Yesterday we got an inch and it even snowed in the mountains.

Rain in SoCal tends to mean accidents. Why's this? It isn't just because it rains so infrequently here that people don't understand hydroplaning. It's also because the lack of rain keeps streets from being cleared of oil. It is actually more slippery here when it rains than back in the Midwest because of the combo water & oil.

So if you're driving in SoCal in the rain take extra precaution by watching out for your own driving and for other people's driving who don't know what they are doing.
