+1 for putting lights on. When visibility is bad, headlights make it much easier to see other vehicles in your mirrors.
A lot of people seem to confuse headlights with high beams though. Got blinded several times yesterday by remos who can’t tell the difference.

Definitely and leaving your headlights on during the day can increase visibility all-round. The problem is the people that use their fog lights incorrectly leaving them turned on 24/7, some of these lights seem to be angled directly into your eyes at close range, very annoying.
I was cut off by a person driving a dark purple 360 who didn’t have their headlights on in the pouring rain while traveling at 100 kph this morning, does that off-set your sensible person well enough?
OMG!!! really? quick better get the police involved and have a cry over an internet forum….oh wait..Who Cares!!
“Wanniassa Shops becomes a slippery ordeal”
I agree. Wanniassa is an ordeal and Kambah too come to think of it …

Take care going around suburban roundabouts in Southern Canberra. The local hoons like to spill oil on them making them very dangerous in these conditions. Even at a very slow speed, turning into Wanniassa Shops becomes a slippery ordeal everytime it rains.
Congrats to all the drivers though who are driving to the conditions and to those who are putting their lights on in heavy rain where visibility is impaired. It all helps. Conversely, to the nut-bag soccer mum driving a Torago on Drakeford at 110 in an 80 zone, hopefully your kids won’t be in the car when you find a light pole with your name on it. Just think about next time.

There was a pretty good six car collision on Yamba Drive this morning that ended with car five’s rear wheels resting on car six’s front bumper.

Slowed down so much that the usual 30 minute commute (for a 12 minute drive) took 50 minutes. 🙁
Had enough – I’m swinging over to bus or bike.
Perfect bike weather?

I think you’ve made a mistake in your post, you say that there was one person that didn’t slow down for the conditions, when you obviously meant it the other way around.

What are you talking about, haha? I find the traffic often slows down too much during wet weather. If it’s still raining like it has been at 5-6pm then going across Commonwealth Ave Bridge will be very cabbage.
I have no problems with people altering their driving to allow for the wet conditions, I fully agree with the theory. But if in practice that means you have to drive like a total nervous nellie now might be the time to reconsider buying those $49 tyres from Kmart, or getting those brakes checked out, and so it goes…
Yup, for every ten retards who continue to speed like crazy even in heavy rain of fog, there are a couple who like to do walking pace. It keeps like interesting.
