As anyone who as driven with me knows, I’m a decent driver - but I am plenty inclined to bitch out many others on the road, and usually for good reason. Ah, so much to cover, but today I will cover one of the stupidest things I encounter on the Interstate highways.

On a regular basis, I drive up to the Charlotte area to visit a friend and enjoy all that the area has to offer. Occasionally, I drive to the Charleston area to see friends there as well. On occasion, my trips coincide with rainy weather. And this is where I see the stupidest behavior that infuriates me.

No, it’s not the fact that many yahoos drive at the same “ticket fodder” speeds regardless of whether it’s sunny or down-pouring to a visibility of ten feet. It’s not even the fact that these idiots feel compelled to break hard and short when they come upon slower moving drivers in such rain.

It is the fact that some drivers - these stupid, or more correctly, oblivious assholes - do not realize that in rainy conditions, their tires kick up water to the effect that their car spews a blinding vapor trail two to four car lengths behind them. Do I mind if these brave and stupid souls continue to drive excessively fast in bad weather? No. Do I mind if they pass me? Not at all. What I do mind is when they pass me, then move back into my lane with no more than one or two car length’s distance between us - and completely blind me with their vapor trail.

Tell me please - I realize what a car spews in wet weather and pass accordingly; surely these drivers have had people cut in front of them in bad weather and experienced the blinding throw of kick-up on their windshield. Yet every time I make the trip and the weather is bad, I have at least two or three morons cut right in front of me.

Almost makes you wish back-ending and forcing people off the highway and into a ditch is only a crime if done without good reason.
