To wonder why when it rains ...

[Euphemyknifeinyourback]

... the traffic goes mental?
I don't believe it's because drivers drive more slowly to keep a safe distance - oh, are those the "safe" ones I see texting on the motorway?
Is it that people who would normally take the bus think "Sod it, I'll just jump in the car."
If so, can I plead with those people not to do it?! It takes my bus 50% longer to get to work on rainy days. [hangry]

But people melt don't they if they get wet?

YANBU.

Or probably people who walk jump in the car too. The only other solution would be to try to get an earlier bus if there is one. I feel your pain WRT taking the bus though. I used to have to get the bus to work and it took an hour and there was only one an hour so if I missed it or if it decided to come early (which it did a few times ) I was buggered!

Yes all the people who walk to school drive except me who doesn't drive and gets splashed

I get the earliest bus I can: drop DD at afterschool at 7.30, go for 7.45 bus (on a normal day it arrives on time and gets to town at 8.30), it arrives 10-15 mins late then takes an hour to get into town.
So for a 9am start I am really pushing it, every bloody time it rains! Which is a lot where I live!
Oh yes it did the coming early thing last week - I was walking up the road at 7.43 only to see it whip round the roundabout and away! [hangry]
