Drove past this yesterday on the way back from Southern Suburbs....huge traffic back logs with all the rubbernecking. Very wet road will cause that with these cars...

I dont know, I am wired differently, I will never just get into any car and floor it.

I take my time getting to know a vehicle, how it handles in dry and wet conditions, how it responds etc. Only once I have an intuitive understanding will I drive it properly.

What does this mean in real life. I get faster in a go kart the longer I drive it, but am vrek slow in the beginning.

A car like that on a wet road cant be super easy to control, add impractical shoes(*ahem* ladies) and it could go badly.

you can drive a like a slow coach and still get forced into a collision.

9 out of 10 times its the slow coach or overly cautious driver that is the guilty party.
