we get a lot of rain in Britain, especially in the south west of England where I live which has a very mild climate.
what amazes me is ,when you get a lot of water on the road which forms pools of standing water, the drains or the ground cant cope will the volume of water, that people still drive through the water not knowing how deep it is, and I don't mean just drive normally they actually plow headlong at full speed, I was always taught to slow right down and go through it gently, not causing a tidal wave, of course when I started driving-half a century ago!- we didn't have the cars that could do what they do today and it was easy to flood the interior or even the engine.
guy last week, I was told, did exactly this and flooded his car, so he couldn't get to work, and i'm sure he wasn't the only one.
people are just crazy!.
