Driving In The Rain

This actually came to me in an email that I received.
Driving in Monsoon Rain
GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR

How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour.

We are not sure why it is so effective; just
Try this method when it rains heavily.
This method was told by a Police friend who had experienced and confirmed it.

It is useful…even driving at night.
Most of the motorists would turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED of the wipers during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the windshield is still bad…….

In the event you face such a situation, just try your SUN GLASSES (any model will do), and miracle!
All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windshield is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain.

Make sure you always have a pair of SUN GLASSES in your car, as you are not only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save your friend’s life by giving him this idea..

Try it yourself and share it with your friends!???
Amazing, you still see the drops on the windshield, but not the sheet of rain falling.?

You can see where the rain bounces off the road. It works to eliminate the “blindness” from passing
Semi’s’ spraying you too.?

Or the “kickup” if you are following a semi or car in the rain.? They ought to teach that little tip in driver’s training.. It really does work.

This warning is a good one!


A 36 year old female had an accident several weeks ago and totaled her car.

A resident of Kilgore , Texas she was traveling

Between Gladewater & Kilgore. It was raining, though not excessively, when her car suddenly began to hydro-plane and literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence!

When she explained to the highway patrolman what had happened he told her something that every driver should know – NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON. She thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain..

But the highway patrolman told her that if the cruise control is on when your car begins to hydro-plane and your tires lose contact with the pavement, your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed making you take off like an airplane. She told the patrolman that was exactly what had occurred.

Double open-end wrench or open-ended spanner

This week I had the unpleasant fortune of having my battery die.   I was really impress that it lasted over 6 years.  Naturally I drive over to the place that help me change my headlights last year.  Since I had to have a jump to get my car started I drove straight over to Kargens.  I had no tools so they handed me a crescent wrench.  Well that worked on all the bolts but one, which had a tight fit.  So they opened two other wrenches for me to try and neither of those worked.  Finally the handed me a 10ml wrench which was the perfect fit.  Once again the only thing I was charged for was the new battery which I needed.  All the tools of theirs I used and any help I received was free.
