Former Seattleite turned Austinite

I admittedly haven’t driven here much in the rain, but does this place is always turn into a battle zone at the slightest drop? I was almost involved in an accident on the way to work today.

I was at a stoplight, and there’s a Ford F150 white contractor truck, full of tools in the lane next to me. When the light turned green, the dude punched it and spun out. Did a 180 and almost crashed into me.
