Said she was a bit worried as the rain was coming down so heavy that she could not see the road. All of the white lines were underwater and the spray was like a car wash. Told her to take it easy and stay with the car in front, keeping a reasonable distance and to come off one junction early if she felt she needed to. She said everyone was taking it really slow, no idiots ploughing through it. She made it home and I ripped the piss out of her ;D Stupid girlie, 'twas only a drop of rain.
10 minutes later, I set off for fish and chips. Got on to the dual carriageway and I've never seen anything like it. The drains just couldn't cope and the water, in places, was over a foot deep. Wipers on full speed and still couldn't see much. I got there and back and gave her a big hug. It must have been awful on the motorway. At least I could have pulled in somewhere, unlike her.
It made me think how we all say goodbye in the morning thinking nothing of it. But there must be a few, every day, who just don't come home.

Did she take the piss when you got home? ..."ya big Girlie" ;D

I didn't tell her. I said there were a few puddles about but nothing to bother me in my big daewoo. ;D

Girls do tend to panic when a drop or two of rain falls. It's in their nature.
I'm glad the headmistress made it home in one piece though. :y

Must admit, I have been out and about today and there have been some moments of total wash out when even a sweep of the wipers did not give any visibility, probably just a second or two, but seemed an age............. :( :(

Rain x :)

Odd. Heavy rain with terrible visibility and poor traction. Why would you want to make a phone call in the midst of that? Surely it cannot help with your concentration?

Presumably it was a "I might never, ever get home, so I shall ring my darling Stemo and let him know in case he's worried to fix his own tea and don't forget the dog" type situation...

Who knows what she was thinking. Just really worried, I think. She probably didn't analyse the situation before pressing the call button, like what someone perfect would do. ::)

Assuming there is a car kit/command thing in the car. On lot of modern cars, it's no harder than selecting a radio station to call someone.
I don't see the argument of it being dangerous to call someone (assuming hands-free), you talk to passengers? What's the difference :-\
Right thing to do call IMHO, you could have known more about what's going on and advise :y

It's been fairly heavy here today - have been playing my favourite game (that I will never tire of), "how big a splash can I make when I put tens of bus through this puddle"...

No argument at all. Just thought it was odd. I have been through a few heavy downpours with terrible spray and choose to stop talking to passengers, turn down the radio and focus on the road. After all if it was that bad, then any distraction including changing your radio station can be fatal.
But then my better half refuses to pick up the phone when she is driving (handsfree). She will pull over and call me back. So maybe I am used to that sort of a response.
