  Cybersteering.com - FEATURE - Better driving /rain and floods   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Rain means reduced visibility, the risk of 'aquaplanning' and skidding and deterioration in the car's stopping ability.
Rain is most dangerous when it falls after a long, dry spell on to roads that have become polished and smooth: the rain blends with oil and rubber-dust deposits on the road surface to form a highly dangerous skid mixture.
Wet-weather driving demands gentle use of all the main controls - steering, clutch, brake and accelerator - and a larger allowance for errors and emergencies.

 2.3 Driving rain
Generally one considers ``driving rain'' as rain that is carried (driven) by wind.
Because wind always plays a role in formation and distribution of rain, the quantities and physical concepts described in the previous section 2.2 also apply for driving rain (yet sometimes slightly adapted).
In the practice of driving rain measurements, raindrop spectra have never been measured, and raindrop trajectories are not determined.

 Driving Rain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Back in the U.S. Driving Rain is an album by Paul McCartney, recorded and released in 2001.
Clearly determined to follow the example of Run Devil Run's brisk making, Driving Rain - except for two songs - was cut with David Kahne co-producing in two weeks, starting in February 2001 and with a set of new musicians whom McCartney intended on backing him on tour.
In November, Driving Rain was released to generally strong reviews but stunned many with its #46 chart peak in the UK, by far McCartney's lowest selling album in his homeland.

Although driving rain is fresh and different, I feel that Paul McCartney has written music in the past that restricts his future achievements.

 In the driving rain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
I've never seen any statistics that prove that drivers from Los Angeles are particularly bad at driving in the rain, but that doesn't mean I don't have to listen to hundreds of people each winter tell me that.
In fact, I would argue that people in L.A. are particularly good at driving in the rain, and I have to only look to common sense for support.
Sure, people who live in cities that get more rain might be more used to driving in it, but no one flat-out drives more than people from Los Angeles, and that's got to count for something.

 Rain Driving Survival - How to Drive in the Rain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In a lot of regions of the country, rain driving is an unavoidable part of getting around.
Rain introduces a variety of dangerous factors to driving: visibility is reduced, traction between your tires and the road is reduced and your car handles with much less of its dry-road predictability.
The first rain after a long dry spell can be particularly treacherous as all these juices combine with light rainfall to make a low-grip soup.

 Rolling Stone : Driving Rain : Review
A listener could live inside the voluptuous notes he so effortlessly threads through Driving Rain, his first album of new rock songs in four years.
Driving Rain exploits this virtue to the fullest with fuss-free arrangements that magnify the interplay of a decent little four-piece rock & roll band comprising three relative unknowns and one living legend.
On each of these tunes, plus the snappy if slight "Driving Rain," the country-flavored "Your Way" and the ten-minute rave-up "Rinse the Raindrops," McCartney's bass does the steering.
