Night Driving in Sustained Rain

No, it's still stressful. I think driving in the pouring rain at night is the worst condition to drive in - except heavy snow. When there aren't too many cars coming toward you, it's great or when it's not lit much and it's just the road, I find that better, too.

But if it's all lit up and the lights are reflecting everywhere and the glare is all over the place, it's horrible and strains the eyes like crazy but you do what you gotta do.

I actually find it harder to drive in dusk in the rain when it's not quite dark and not light any more....

 

To me it makes it worse cause the reflection is brighter.

YOU can only see the FOG line about 5 feet in front of the hood, when it's dark and raining.

 

Oh, sorry, I should have clarified - IF there's a lot of traffic on both sides of the road. I just find it easier to see and drive without streetlights and such around but it also depends on the type of rain, the heaviness of the rain, whether there's fog, etc.

Driving in the pouring rain sucks no matter how you look at it.

 

I really don't like driving in the rain at night. If I can alter my schedule and still make the delivery window, I elect to shut down.

 

Also, the reflector poles that run along the freeway, you can measure the distance from the center of your hood to the reflector poles, memorizing where there at in relation to the hood and know that you are in your lane.

There is also on the freeway what they call the zipper strips.

YOU can tell by these if you are on the road as well. The only problem with using them is that debri can be on the side of the road.
