People Can't Drive in the Rain in San Diego

San Diego Winter Problem #1: Driving in the Rain

People here in sunny San Diego by the Sea can't drive in the rain. It rains once a year, so people either keep driving 75mph like they normally do, or they over-react and drive 50mph. The combination of slow road-blocks and wet surfaces makes for an interesting day. Best to stay and bed and sleep late that day. I'm sure that there are people who used to know how to drive in rain, but when they move here they forget after about five years. You could have been the the best Seattle rain driver in the history of the world, but five years in San Diego will ruin all your mad skills. In fact, you are probably one of the ones driving your usual 75mph as you have your Seattle attitude of, "this is nothing, I used to drive in the rain every day back home." 

The rain driving issues are also related to issue #2, as you really can't see out your windshield due to the rotted out wipers.
