I thought people would be able to drive better in the rain in Urbana. But it is just as bad as it was in California, where it was excusable for general lack of rain. I was actually passing cars on my bike because they were going too slowly. I guess people think that driving slow, erratically and breaking at very unexpected moments is much safer in rain. So 90% of drivers are driving in a horrible way and the other 10% have road rage and weave through traffic angrily because they are pissed of at the other 90%. I actually saw a traffic jam yesterday because locals seem to be unable to move through an all way stop sign, a problem made worse by the rain.

I guess I am more pissed off about the inability of people to move on the road when it is raining and I am on a bike and thus trying to get home quickly. When bike is faster than cars and you are not in a big city where that would be expected, than something is wrong.
