Finally, the first significant storm in awhile. And, like the rain brings out the worms. The rain in Southern California brings out the bad drivers. (I guess I should say even worse than normal. This is Los Angeles I'm talking about.) People can't seem to get it into their heads that, when it finally rains after a long dry spell, that the oil gets washed up from the street and you have to drive slower and leave a longer distance between you and the cars in front of you. Also, when it's pouring rain and visibility is lowered, you should also slow down. But no, people continue to drive above the speed limit and tailgate and then wonder why they just rear-ended the car in front of them. Duh! I think I read somewhere that the accident call-outs for the Highway Patrol go up 500% on rainy days in California. Sigh!
