Angry spun out and wrecked twice (pics)


So, I am driving home from VA to MD. We got about 2 inches of rain yesterday and , I decided to leave work early to pick up a shipment from UPS at home. Even at Noon traffic is heavy. 395 North after the 14th street bridge is crawling, there was a 2 car accident blocking the left 2 lanes, damn that sux I thought. I go another few miles and there is yet another fender bender on Kenilworth Ave, damn this drive is bad I

ouch!

At least you're not hurt. It sounds like it could've been far worse.

Best of luck with the repairs!

I got 2 tickets one because MD police need to charge someone at fault but the cop was nice, he said he understood it was standing water and heavy rain so its hard to fault me but he had to. The other ticket was for failure to lower speeds in inclement weather. 110 and a 70. im going to court for it though im sure they will drop it.

Damn S02

How many miles on the S02s?

You know there are no center water channels in the tread, right?

If you're going to be daily driving in places with heavy rain/standing water... go with S03s or all season tires (like dunlop SPs).

If you have no water channels, you're asking for the hydroplane.

It costs less to get a spare set of tires + rims than one insurance deductible + tickets + premium increase.
