Actually the original topic is how to drive safely in wet weather, something which you're not doing at all. If you're driving at 140kph on wet roads, if for some reason you have to brake suddenly, it will be like driving on ice and you'll be all over the place. People should not be speeding in perfect driving conditions, let alone when conditions are hazardous.

I am glad you know your limits. Everyone should drive within their limits. It is the best way to not have accidents.

The topic was still about people driving through puddles at 5 kph though. Would anyone like me to get into the details of hydroplaning, hydrolock, effects of different tyre widths in rain, FWD vs RWD, and defensive driving concepts?
