People don't pull over when it drizzles or rains UK style. :rolleyes:

I've been in some heavy rain in my time (in other tropical climes too) but I will admit to stopping in heavy rain last year, this was going over the Story Bridge, I didn't want to go over it but I was on the only straight road I knew in bugger-all visibility. Pulled off, headed for an undercover apartment car-port and watched the other drivers stuggle. 10 minutes later it was over.

I have also stopped in the MG, that was more to do with the efficiency of the ancient wipers than anything else.

Safety first, if I get home without a prang then I couldn't give a monkey's what anyone thinks.

So what you're saying is that pulling over in really heavy rain is a smart thing to do rather than an Aussie thing to do.

Looks like it's not just the mid-day sun that attracts mad dogs :lol:

Yup, I drive according to conditions ... at the risk of sounding like a dull 'Advanced Driving Course' disciple ... there are plenty of ways of spending your time but taking or giving insurance details isn't top of my list.

Aye, well there are degrees ... I agree some people tend to be over-cautious ... on the other hand I see plenty of people barrelling up and down the M1 at 110 through thick and thin ... usually clinging onto the bumper in front because it's the only thing they can see ...
