So its not just drivers headed to the west side, looks like a possible island-wide epidemic of bad driving!
If only there was a way to make it so all driver’s tests included a “drive in the rain” component. Maybe we could simulate it by having the driving instructor spritz a few drops of water on the windshield with a spray bottle. Even that minimally insignificant challenge would probably result in half of test takers failing.
Not that most readers here give a rip, but the “Likelike Highway tunnel” has a real name – the (John H.) Wilson Tunnels.
