Yes, but that's true in any car. IMO, if you can't drive an FD with good tires safely in the rain, then you either need to get some common sense or learn how to drive.

 

Based on everything being scraped up, and the nose being cocked to the right, I would say he lost it and nailed a divider.

 

The frame rails are definetly bent on that car, no doubt.

 

Well that's the point. Driving in the rain is especially frustrating, because
1) people who have poorly maintained cars\dirty wipers\no skills\worn tires get in the way of us trying to make a reasonable speed
2) people who change lanes in front of you and reduce your following distance
3) people who can't drive a consistent speed, and cause your following distance to change

So experienced drivers know to make adjustments for safety in the rain, but also recognize there are things that happen a dozen times in every single drive that momentarily put you in an unrecoverable position if something bad happens. And it just take some bad luck - and rain tends to bring more of it.

Hopefully I've learned something that has contributed to 150000 accident-free miles in 12 years of driving.

Holy ****, that's what happens when rain hits a FD???

IM gonna have to be careful when I wash my car, low pressure only!!!

Seriously

Two weeks ago I did a lapping day in the rain........(I live in Seattle, go figure)

Great practice on smooth throttle/brake application along with driving the proper lines. The afternoon dried out & it was fast & fun

Don't fear the rain, learn to drive in it!

 

Those big rain drops are pretty harsh on a car. I wasn't saying this will happen everytime, just don't underestimate the situation.
