Murphy’s Road Rules #030

Heavy fog and rain are no reasons to change any of the previously listed rules. These weather conditions are God’s way ensuring a natural selection process for panel beaters, junkyards, and new vehicle sales. It is an acceptable practice to increase your speed in comparison to the rate of rain fall, i.e.: the harder it rains, the faster you go.

That’s right! As long as you are familiar with the road and remember where the twists and turns are, go forward at great speed and get there ahead of everyone else.

On a more somber note, have you ever driven in heavy fog where visibility was about a foot off the end of your car hood? I did once, white knuckled and cried the entire way home. I couldn’t have pulled over if I wanted to, because I had no idea what was off the edge of the road.

- Yup, and rain so hard the wipers couldn’t keep up. I practically leant out the window to see the white line at 20mph.

Also, slam the breaks.

- You might ‘brake the breaks’ if you do… Slamming the brakes makes wicked skid marks down the range…

  - I know. Hydroplaning is wicked scary but it seems some people are asking for it.

  - Never touch the brakes when hydroplaning… That is a serious tip… You’ll loose all control, those wheels need to keep spinning for you to keep semi-going the way you want…

  - Yep, I know. Most don’t. I learned that in race car driving school. They made us drive traction cars where they would take the traction away and make you spin, and or hydroplane. It was scary but it saved me once.

Having been on the road a bit during the last 6 days, I just plan to follow one rule…….never get in the car again with my husband. 😦
