    That is the dumbest #### i ever heard.. My truck is governed at 65. If the speed limit is 80 and its pouring rain there is still no reason to drive 50. If i feel comfortable still at 65 then im staying there.. Just cuz ur scared of a little rain dont mean the rest of us are

    This. Being in the same boat, I can definitely confirm that a little rain ain't nothing. The only real key is learning how to read a wet road just as well as you can read a dry one

    File it under the same category as the physics of some of the ways that public restrooms get destroyed. It's a great philosophical mystery, I say
