It is that time of the year when it rains almost everyday here. This is my question If you are driving and all of a sudden a heavy downpour began would you put on your flashers and keep driving or pull over? If my kids are with me i will pull over. If i am by myself as long as i can see the road i may keep driving. So do you pull over or don't you?

I would simply turn on the windshield wipers and my headlights and keep going:) So long as I can still see the roadway, of course!


myLot reputation of 96/100. cjgrooms (3172)   ranked 89 out of 28,975 in people  7 months ago

The drivers here doesn't have the sense to slow down and half the time will not even have on headlights. It's not the rain so much as the other drivers on the road that worries me.

Depends on how heavy the downpour & if I can still see ok or not. I always have my kids with me so I pull over if I can't see & I slow down even if I can see...rain & wet roads are so dangerous when you are driving you can't be too careful!

I can only recall pulling over once or twice in my life, and that's because me nerves were probably bad at that moment.

Also, as you know here in the south, if you drive a few more yards the sun will be shining.

I've added a hug under this for the information on the drying and dying of corn shucks. Thanks for the info.


A great big hug for you!

myLot reputation of 96/100. cjgrooms (3172)   ranked 89 out of 28,975 in people  7 months ago

If there is other cars on the road and i have the kids I'm probably pulling over.
I'm glad it had what you were looking for. It was the first site i pulled up last night.

There have been a few times that it has rained hard enough that you can't see and have put the flashers on and even pulled over under an overpass until the rain let up some.

I am a big baby so I of course pull over. If its not too baad I will keep driving but I am pretty bad I need to see the road or i pull over.


myLot reputation of 96/100. cjgrooms (3172)   ranked 89 out of 28,975 in people  7 months ago

If i can't see the road then i can't see a car in front of me if they don't have on lights (sometimes it is so bad you can't see them if their lights are on), and if some nut is flying he will surely rear-end me before he sees me, so i don't think it is being a baby i think it is just a healthy respect for a dangerous situation.

it is better to pull over if you have a long drive, but if its a short drive to your destination, better get to your place as soon as possible, it is better to enjoy rain fro myour than while driving

Cj I almost always pull over. Especially if it is dusk or night time. I just do not see well in the rain and night time any more. I look for a place to pull over without hazards.


myLot reputation of 96/100. cjgrooms (3172)   ranked 89 out of 28,975 in people  7 months ago

Yep, it wouldn't do any good to get off the road for safety if you slide into a ditch and wrecked anyway!LOL

Hello cjgrooms Ji,
I do not have any experience of driving car during sudden caught in nrains, however, had an experience with my son, he uses wipers and keeps driving, so taht we are never caught and reach destination safely. But, once many yrs back, we started our scooter, my wife being on penion, it just dizzled, we thought, we will reach our house (12 Kms away), but on the way, passing through country area, it became haevy down-pour, we were fully drenched from top to bottom. I thanked my vehicle, which brought us safely. It was a life time experience. have a nice time.


myLot reputation of 96/100. cjgrooms (3172)   ranked 89 out of 28,975 in people  7 months ago

Sometimes when it storms here you can't see the road even with the windshield wipers, that's when i just get off the road in a safe place. Glad that your scooter got you home safe and sound!

I keep driving without my flashers on. I find those flashers distracting, especially on the interstate. I do drive much slower though, sometimes as slow as 30 or 35. When I see flashers, I don't know if someone is driving slow or if someone has had a wreck.


myLot reputation of 96/100. cjgrooms (3172)   ranked 89 out of 28,975 in people  7 months ago

If it is raining enough for you to go that slow you should get off the road.
