Ever notice that when it rains, and not necessarily to a stormy degree, Bayshore Boulevard floods. Of course, that’s a rhetorical question. And in short order it’s a de facto no-wake zone. For some reason, drivers seemingly don’t see what the rest of us see. They plow through, spraying and splashing, as if it were postcard-perfect weather and they’re late for a hot date. It’s beyond inexplicable negligence and stupidity for themselves, their passengers, their vehicles and other drivers.
I have a theory. Given that every other vehicle on the road these days is an SUV and many others are pickups atop monster-truck tires, it might be an above-it-all sense of invincibility. As well as negligent and stupid.
