LOL. In Atlanta, highway traffic just slows down to 40 in torrential downpour conditions where you can’t see lane markings.

40 mph?

On I95 in the DE-NY area, it's more like 60 mph in heavy rain. Or even in moderate snow. Everyone knows that they could never stop. But they're counting on others' inability to stop ;) But occasionally, there are massive chain-reaction pileups :(
