Driving during rainy season

So I'm driving home. It's very warm and raining. I can't keep the windshield from fogging with the windows up and me and the electric windows take a drenching with them down even a little. It's hard enough to see as it is. Traffic is backed up for no other reason than because it is.

I got scooters and bikes zipping along on my far left (where, by law, they are allowed to drive and to pass me) on these narrow, narrow roads. And also, I got scooters zipping in and out on my right, where they ain't supposed to be, and where most of my car is occupying because of the scooters to my left.

I have already had one smack my rearview a couple months ago and keep going. The mirrors are connected together for some reason, so it took both of them out. What a pain.

I refer to these scooters as "Traffic gnats". It fits perfectly.

HHeeeeeyyyyy!!! If you have never tried being a "Traffic Knat" then don't knock it. Every evening commute back to the house, I probably pass over 2000 "Moving Roadblocks" or perhaps "4-Wheeled Menace" in between rows that stretch out for miles....
I get home on time...

OK Dragger, but were you buzzing in and out unexpectedly or were you hugging the left shoulder as prescribed by law?

Did they have the giant, souped up scooters when you were here? Do you know the ones I'm talking about?
