My "Hate" relationship with rains continues...!!
Today was stranded on the road during one of the most heavy showers I've ever experienced! Not stranded really...but stranded driving....it was so bad I couldn't even see 10 feet ahead..and while everyone had slowed down considerably it was still sooo dangerous...thought I would die...seriously....!!
I think I must've broken every rule, got honked at by a trucker...who honked so loud that had it not been for the sound of the rain, my ear drum would have ruptured! He honked for a good 30 seconds - basically coz I was slow and then when I changed a lane to let him pass - he honked again....like after 30 seconds, I didn't understand just how aggrieved he was...And yet again Murphy's Law was at its best - the GPS kept belting out confusing directions on a road I'd never been on before...so imagine this with poor visibility, needless to say, couldn't get where I wanted to after four failed attempts, so finally just gave up!!
How I missed just stopping under the flyover, to let the shower get over and then start moving again....why didn't people wait? Isn't it safer to wait, rather than drive in almost zero visibility...So basically after today....Note to myself - ALWAYS...ALWAYS...check the weather HOURLY weather forecast before going to a new place....
