rainy day crashes.

[WERDdabuilder]

finally some rain in socal.

roads all slippery.
people driving all slow.

and people not paying attention.

was waiting at a red light headed west. was looking at the cars going east and saw this car in the left turn lane and BAM! some stupid chick wasnt paying attention and rear ended an impala ha. she opened her door and you can see all the smoke pour out cause of the airbag.

oh man it was golden.

anyone else see accidents today?

[red89rps13]

heard a diesel truck ran over a little pick up truck on the 5 fwy killing the occupants.

[MrChow]

Yeah there's' one to my car... But then again who the hell sit in the middle of spot where people are exiting a turn stop and out of freaking gear... If it wasn't wet I probably would of turned out of the way but RT-615 aren't the best in the rain.

[buku_points]

yea i was on the 71 heading north and right before euclid? there was an over turned 05-06 tundra and a jeep in a ditched.looked pretty bad...

[BustedS13]

...because of rain?

[w0nderbr3ad]

I saw an suv over on the iceplants at a 30* angle to the offramp from 8W to 5S.

[PRADOgy]

well who ever crashes because of rain .. i hope all are well..!

on another note.. shit i never noticed how badley i needed tires

[ThatGuy]

I didn't see any accidents in North Carolina today. I guess the rain storm didn't stretch this far.

Regional Section :confused:

[stinky_180]

my rear end just kept on wanting to brake loose, moving side to side... i definately need new tires.

i was on the 405 north heading to huntington beach from irvine. saw an accident some sort of truck and is350 or 250, not sure, fucked up on the 405 south. about 2-3 miles north of that accident, another major accident.

[buku_points]

lol this all took place in socal,for some reason people love to tailgate & do 85 even though you cant see two feet in front of you.

[SimpleSexy180]

people fail in rain

[PRADOgy]

lol this all took place in socal,for some reason people love to tailgate & do 85 even though you cant see two feet in front of you.

yeah pretty much LOL..

big fat ass SUV in front of you cant see shit ahead of that.. and behind there ass and all you can think about is :hurry the F up:
then they change lanes.. and for some damn reason you slow down after all that..

[ESmorz]

...because of rain?

Yeah because drivers here don't know how to drive in rain and either drive really, really, really slow...

Or they drive like normal and are idiots, and that's when there are crashes.

[PRADOgy]

Attention all open diff's Attention all open diff's.. nows your time to shine:keke:

jk

[buku_points]

sucks for us with 2-ways

[LB.Motoring]

Welded Diff, and Rain ftw.

[Matej]

Haha I've heard stories about how when it rains in Arizona and Texas there are cars littered all around the roads. Is that true?

[k's_silvia2.0]

people fail in rain

People fail in genaral nowadays.

[jskateborders]

Haha I've heard stories about how when it rains in Arizona and Texas there are cars littered all around the roads. Is that true?
I can see that. I just recently moved here and its pouring, and for some reason I hydroplane all over the place. Never had that prob in VA. Guess it has something to do with the roads. ITs exciting. Bet it scares the shit outta the drivers around me. Guess learning to drift has its uses in the real world.

[red89rps13]

Welded Diff, and Rain ftw.

welded diff, bald tires, wacked out alignment ftl

[sleepy_s13]

sucks for us with 2-ways

never!! 2-way in the rain FTW!!!!!!!

[flclsteve]

on the 5 north forgot witch exit there was a light blue toyota corolla smashed in half almost all the way to the drivers seat (crash was hit from behind) no sign of 2nd car but tow truck and police where already there

[KiLLeR2001]

rains all the time here in FL, thats why i never cheap out when it comes to tires, bfg kdw2's baby!

I think i saw the same exact car!
Overall I saw about 4 different accidents today. on the 710 and 91.

[deadpirate]

dude....if it even SPRINKLES in california people FREAK OUT and suddenly cant drive worth a damn

[azndoc]

I saw one bad one on the 110

Then saw one camero stuck in the grass off to the side at the on ramp

I got a little tiny tiny sideways in the f450 flatbed I was driving. No grip on the front tires at all. Not fun.

Then on the way home a mustang was stuck in the ditch flipped at the on ramp on the 605.

I drove all day and it was just such a shitty day.

[S14Josh]

Saw one guy who went off the road and took out a brick wall and ended up in someones front yard.

Thats about it though. I didnt drive around much today

[KA24DESOneThree]

I left my 325's trunk open and my brother's car's windows down. Woke up to pouring rain and had to close it all up. No one tells me about rain.

On the 12 mile drive home, I saw one pickup that had spun off the road and down an embankment and three cars that had spun into the median and impacted the guard rail.

Add rain to California's already suicidal drivers and it's a recipe for disaster.

[ShoRe]

wasnt a car to car accident but some kid on a bike got hit by some whack lady in front of the schoo. that kid got knocked out on the spot ><

[!Zar!]

Attention all open diff's Attention all open diff's.. nows your time to shine:keke:

jk

Nah.

Open sucks even more in the rain.

Driving around Frisco with an open and you keep diffing out while turning...sweet.

[240sx_LE]

i saw two separate cabbie crash spin outs at sd airport today. both at the same curve at the airport exit. i hate cab drivers, they drive like assholes.

[B18C5MK1]

the weird thing i've noticed about california is that everyone who shouldnt be allowed to operate a vehicle... operates a vehicle when ever it rains. they all come out and go to walmart. seriously, when i worked at walmart our busiest days were when it would rain.

its like how worms surface when it rains. same thing with stupid people in california. i dont get it.

worm:
"say kids, lets go to walmart... oh darn is this the exit already? here i'll do a 'california merge' in front of this semi... he'll be able to stop. no problem."

sad.

[BustedS13]

this is one of the saddest threads ever. well, you know, for humanity.

[Flipzide]

The rain wasn't too bad, imo. Didn't see any crashes on the 78 and the 15.

I don't see what all the fuss is about for 2ways... my car didn't kick out today unless I wanted it to.

[xcusememisswyn]

lol, socal ppl suck.

Rain isnt even worth a thread in the east.

I could drive all day and not see a crash.

The rivers could overflow and the rain could go for days.

People here would go on as life.

Snow barely slows ppl down, if its less than three inches, you wont see a crash for mile.

[lflkajfj12123]

actually i think people speed up around here in the rain

its great

[SoCal-s130]

yea i was on the 71 heading north and right before euclid? there was an over turned 05-06 tundra and a jeep in a ditched.looked pretty bad...

I saw a truck upside down and a gardener truck somehow up on this hill. Was the truck red?

[DRavenS13]

I was on the 105 freeway and this dude speeds past me in his infinite Honda wisdom. Saw him try to pass another car, lose control and hit the wall inside the carpool lane.

Another one bites the dust.

[WERDdabuilder]

the weird thing i've noticed about california is that everyone who shouldnt be allowed to operate a vehicle... operates a vehicle when ever it rains.

you know who pisses me off? old people. my god. they drive slow enough when its not raining but when it rains..my rage just builds up.

couple months ago i was at a red light, truck next to me was waiting to merge onto the freeway on ramp and ERRRRRRRRR!!!BAM!!! this old lady in a boat of a caddy smashed into the back of the truck. rolled the window down and busted up laughing.

i unno man, cali people + rain/no rain doesn't mix.

[ayuaddict]

i think i told this story before but...

one of the first times it rained this year in norcal, i got rear ended at a stop light and i was at a complete stop so inertia wasn't in my favor. guy drove off, chased him down while calling cops, beat him down, cops got there and got a police report.

my insurance check should be in the mail this week.

love it.

[miucus]

2way and rain go great together.

[180sx Fan]

I was done in socal last year around this time and remember the rain and seen like atleast 5+crashes the day i got there, mainly old people from what i remember.

[Farzam]

I don't drive 240sx in the rain

It sucks

And I don't want my baby gettin hit!

[CrimsonRockett]

I got stuck going uphill last night.

Rear wouldn't grab worth a shit, so I had to roll down in reverse and take the long way.

Haha.

[k's_silvia2.0]

This morning my Gf was driving up the on-ramp and the rear started to slide.Amazingly she didnt slam on the brakes or oversteer instead she eased on the throttle and just brought it back:D I knew teaching her to drive wasnt a waste.

[PRADOgy]

ROFL... thats gangstar..

[jackjack]

2-way, bald tires, 1 inch of snow..... ftw. should be a fun drive home after work.

[Citystars]

dude....if it even SPRINKLES in california people FREAK OUT and suddenly cant drive worth a damn

LOL. Thats hilarious.. you guys would be fucked if it snowed :keke:

[xamraci]

I got an LSD just so my car would behave reasonably in the rain...open diff, stretched tires and stiff coilovers=interesting :loco: wet weather drive:ugh:

Still havent installed it yet:keke: hahaha.

Loosing the rear end of my S14 at 60mph on the interstate merge ramp sucks...keeping it from slamming into the wall was breath taking(I nearly had a heart attack)...

open diffs in the rain just push the car around, its ill advised with other vehicles, bystanders, or large objects to hit...:angel:

[xblack240x]

It was fairly recent, I would say about 2 weeks ago.. Saw a mustang slide on an on ramp to 80-W, ended up stuck on a embankment... Dunno if it was intentional or not, but it was pretty funny :rofl:

[ixfxi]

lol, socal ppl suck.

Rain isnt even worth a thread in the east.

terrain is different.

our sewers overflow and streets are filled high with water. i drove the miata the other day and felt like a submarine in some parts of sunvalley (had to pickup parts from the scrapper).

we have a ton of oil on our streets which surfaces, making any tire extremely slippery.

but besides that, girls in socal tend to drive like shit and guys have vaginas out here, which pretty much makes it a 90% female society. they say women are safer drivers, well, if you're curious... come to socal and check it out. bunch of idiots driving around here...

[lovely240]

ppl need to learn to drive in the rain

[Subzeroqc]

what the hell would these people do in snow..... WOW.

[eastcoastS14]

hahaha all this because of rain? are you serious? Its just rain ppl....Id die laughing if I came to socal and saw ppl crashing cause of rain...we get it all out here, rain, sleet, snow, ice....and still dont see alot of crashes haha suck it up ppl lol

[aznpoopy]

old s13 makes a good point

the most dangerous time when it rains is right when it starts, because the slick crap hasn't washed off the street

out here in the northeast, it rains all the time.
in ca... imagine if that shit builds up for weeks and then it rains once in a blue moon. add inexperience to that... people will be sliding all over the street.

[BusBOy]

on the freeway i was hydro planing on every little flood and i was letting it cruise, then a car in front of me was hitting the breaks and i nearly was like 3 inch away from his back bumber uhhh. dunt you kno if you hit the break in the flood you car and lose control!! geez well lucky for me i got away and got to work... when i got to work i had a blast sliding around the pole with my welded diff!

[KA24DESOneThree]

You sound like one of the morons we've been ranting about.

[r6_240sx]

I saw about 3.

One going 60W with a truck, another 10E car rear ended truck (bumper and the trunk bed was about a foot apart from each other), and another one at Lamb's Canyon (Beaumont, CA) with an SUV flipped over (I hope everyone was ok). It's sad when u think about it and how much ppl can't drive.

Yeah that was a long day of driving...

[Touge_Monster]

[quote=ESmorz;1680433]Yeah because drivers here don't know how to drive in rain and either drive really, really, really slow...

Im always driving slow in the rain. My car and wet streets dont get along

[89dc240]

As for Arizona,,, When I was goin to school in Phoenix, it rained twice the whole time. People everywhere were like a deer in headlights. It doesn't help that out there they coat the roads with shit to help keep them from breaking down due to the constant hardcore sunning they get.
Then add 8-10 months of oil drips and boy is it fun to drive.

And of course drainage there was a pile of shit, so there would be whole parking lots full of water 2-3 feet deep for days. My truck was never so clean after having so much fun, lol.
