Yippee!!!! We are finally getting some rain... not the normal spring/summer schedules but...  Do not know which board to post this on... Weather? Traffic?  Maybe both.

There are certain rules for driving in the rain... obvious is to drive slower, avoid areas that flood, pull into a parking lot if the rain is coming down so hard that you can't see! 

Just because you drive a ATV/SUV does not mean that you can drive the way you do.  Just because you can drive through high water at a high rate speed does not mean that you should.  Think about others.  The other day I drove through an area that the streets were flooded.  I was new to the area and did not know that the road flooded.  I slowed down and rode in the midde of the road, as I was trained, pulling over when on cars came  toward me.  The drivers of the ATV/SUV's?  They sped down the road and the splashes blinded other drivers.

And... do not drive with your flashers on!  The flashers are meant to be used when you are at a stop... I got caught in one of Sunday's storms and was driving on Waters when I saw at least 2 drivers with their flashers on!
