Well after my warning of biblical floods I got in without seeing one drop of rain. It did spit slightly at one point.

Your fault. Wet and windy and just grim up 'ere. Did manage a smile when I saw a car in a ditch on the 'very straight' Manchester Road - how they managed it I'll never know !

Weren't concentrating, car wandered to the side, they jerked the car back into their lane & lost control. Or bombing along at silly speed, hit a bump, this unweights the car enough for it to start sliding & slide into the ditch.

Most drivers can't control at car much above 35-40 mph, they can gently guide it in the right direction. The result is 'the big corner' with a carefully constructed crest mid-turn & lots of painted dots on the tarmac marking certain lines (the instructors know what the dots mean). It's possible to take the corner on the tightest set of markings at 75-100 mph depending on the car, get a novice in something like a Civic type-R & they'll typically spin it at 25-30mph!

Yup, same as me. After all your doom and gloom and this mornings weather forecast by the lovely Wendy Hurrell on the BBC local news I was in for a very wet ride in......looks like I got to work just in time.. it's darkening up here

I think the Met. Office must have the rain predicting/guessing computer set to worst case as it always seems to over estimate the rain.

Just started to rain here in 'sunny' Bedford. Stayed dry on the commute; but the wind this morning was horrid.

 

[johnnyh]

I arrived at the office looking like a drowned rat - Big smile though

16 properly wet commutes this year. I wonder when that "12 wet commutes a year" stat will start to look silly. . . . . oh
