Distracted Drizzle Driving

An alert reader recently mentioned a scourge in Southern California: driving a car. Out there in lala land, distracted drizzle driving is a thing. Known as DDD locally, it appears to be a combination of discovering moisture on the roadway while one is driving and texting.

Apparently, a recently wetted road surface is a driving hazard that continues to escape them (I mentioned this phenomenon some time ago). Moving about in the rain in a motorized vehicle still confounds them - so apparently, the faster, the better (or, in So Cal terms, perhaps inch ahead).

So off they go, zipping about on wet roads they refuse to accept are slippery, texting away. Big surprise. Another DDD-related incident occurs.

That SoCal - what a fun place.
