Irritating inconvenience? No no no, I think not. I think SoCalers don't know the difference between driving in wet and dry conditions. I've ridden in a family friend's car during a storm, and they just floored the pedals and ran it hard into corners like any dry day. Rain just showcases our ignorance, and further reinforces my belief that we need more stringent driving tests.
Of course, it doesn't help when you have a bunch of unlicensed / uninsured idiots on the road with you like in Los Angeles...
