You ain't kidding.  The strange thing is, that's equally true
up here in the Bay Area, where the rainfall is much greater.
Every year, ~90% of the driving populace has to re-learn how
to drive in the rain.  And it doesn't take a storm, either.  
Even a few drops on the ol' windshield is enough to slow 
traffic to a crawl on the freeways.  Stupid bastards...

Of course, around these parts, even a discarded Pepsi can
on the shoulder is enough of a spectacle to back traffic
up for five miles thanks to rubberneckers, so how much can
one rightfully expect?
