Driving in the rain is something you either love or hate. Some people seem to think that they can drive at the same speed and just watch the taillights of the person in front of them. Others get nervous and drive at a third of the speed limit.

I have a strategy I call “throttle regulation”. My car is a 1970 dinosaur, with a good deal of power. This makes for interesting driving in the wet, for without judicious application of the throttle, you very quickly end up going down the road sideways. Thus, I drive carefully enough not to induce lateral movement, but fast enough to be near the speed limit.

You certainly don’t get bored driving this way.
